Goals and activities of the organization
Cambodia Child Aid is seated in Munich (Germany). It's goal is to help the poor children in Cambodia, one of the poorest countries in the world. In order to do so in a controlled way, we work with a registered organization (CAMDOC) in Cambodia where we are represented in the board. Members of our own board regularly visit, on their own account, our counter part in Cambodia. Since the aid activities in Cambodia are not centrally organized and controlled, lots of the assets are wrongly or inefficiently used. Together with CAMDOC we decided to first concentrate on a specific location. This focal area is the Commune of Roeurl in the province of Siem Reap, about 50 km from its capital Siem Reap city, well known from the touristic top attractions Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. Concentrating on this area does not mean that other areas do not need (our) help. The idea is to first get results in the focal area, get recognition and soon expand the local Cambodian organization and activities to other areas.

Target area
Roeurl is a country commune of 14 villages, where 95% of the 14,000 people (about half of them children 18 years old or less) live from rice culture. The average income per family (5 to 8 persons) is between $30 and $50 a month; there is no current water, no provisions for central electricity, no sewer structure and there is no infrastructure of maintained roads.Our main goal is to improve the basic living conditions of the people, concentrating on education (the future of younger people), health care, developing self supporting activities and mutual social responsibility. So far we started with private initiatives and spendings, used to help individuals, to comply with the bigger needs of the small health station, to drill some clean water wells and to introduce some small scale hygiene projects. In order to really achieve things like building schools, come to a locally organized health care system, etc, we need the support of established bigger organizations that operate internationally. They, in their turn, however, demand some basic investment from the requesting organization.
In short: we need active people and money. In return we will give you a response in terms of reports on what we achieved and reactions from the local people.
