Sponsor a child in Cambodia

Sponsoring a child in Cambodia with Plan International is one of the easiest ways to improve the lives of all children and to make sure girls have access to equal opportunities.

 

By becoming a child sponsor, you guarantee a child – and all children in their community – have everything they need to grow, learn and plan for their futures.

 

Child sponsorship helps tackle the root causes of discrimination, exclusion and vulnerability, and support some of the world’s most vulnerable children to thrive.

Key Challenges for children in Cambodia

 

  • 1 in 4 people do not have access to clean water.
  • Access to clean water is particularly scarce in rural areas, due to polluted water sources and limited sanitation facilities.
  • Cambodia is vulnerable to flooding, typhoons, occasional droughts during the dry season, and climate change.
  • Nearly 3% of all children die before the age of 5.

How your support is helping children like Veasna

 

Veasna, 17, is using the dramatic arts to demand change. Along with her fellow Plan International Youth Advocates, Veasna performs plays at community centers and festivals, tackling very serious topics such as the dangers of child trafficking.

Veasna also participates in monthly council meetings, where she raises issues she finds concerning, including girls’ rights and gender equality.

“Together women and men can do so much more,” Veasna says. “I’m convinced that they can lead a village equally well.”
