More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Cambodia has the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Asia. In affected communities, this program teaches rural families how to create gardens so they have healthy food to help their immune system, limit weight loss and improve strength. Communities are educated about good nutrition and HIV/AIDS. The gardens give families a source of income through the sale of surplus goods. As one mother says: “Now we have regular fresh vegetables and fruits, better health and extra income."
Activities
Establish model community farms to train families and provide seeds, seedlings and chicks; Teach families to develop and maintain their own gardens; Provide nutrition and HIV/AIDS education; Train partner organizations to provide on-going support
