Cambodia

With a population of 14.7 million, the Kingdom of Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world and relies heavily on aid.

Cambodia is burdened with the legacy of conflict and political instability. Although the economy has seen rapid progress over the last decade, around 70% of Cambodia’s workforce is still employed in subsistence farming. It also suffers the challenges of high HIV prevalence, high rates of maternal mortality and significant internal and cross-border human trafficking. Y Care International has been working with Cambodia YMCA since 2009.
