Our key strategy is to expand the self-help group (SHG), Saving for Change (SfC) and village development committee (VDC)
Our key strategy is to establish a unit to explore discretionary income opportunities to support ongoing viability.
Cambodia is highly susceptible to Climate Change and poor rural people are the most vulnerable.
