Plan Cambodia: what we do

Plan’s work in Cambodia, which is centered on the rights of the child, focuses on 5 key areas:

• basic education
• health and hygiene practices
• water and sanitation
• child participation and protection
• economic security
• disaster risk reduction.

We work to combat educational problems such as limited enrolment, a high drop-out rate, illiteracy and a generally low standard of educational achievement. We do this by addressing issues such as inadequate teaching facilities, poorly trained teachers, a lack of parental awareness, and poverty that compels children and young people to work rather than study.
