We support people living in rural areas on their way towards long-term sustainable development, and teach them to use biogas and solar energy. We educate them on livestock breeding as well, and participate in building and strengthening local markets. In recent years, People in Need has managed to improve healthcare significantly - malnutrition in children from poor families has been reduced and the mortality of women giving their first birth has decreased as well, partly thanks to a practical mobile technology enabling skilled healthcare workers to send voice messages to new mothers and educate them on proper newborn care.
We have also been working on improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene, especially through educational programmes in communities.
Through its ongoing disaster risk reduction programmes, PIN focuses on building community resilience necessary for dealing with future disasters.
For instance, we have developed an early warning system for disasters. Should the country be hit by a natural disaster, we will provide an immediate response to affected people- like during the floods in and , or in when Cambodia was hit by excessive drought.
Not only are these efforts morally good, they protect United States citizens from epidemics and disasters while stabilizing the economies and governmental relations of many countries around the globe. Cambodia has been ravaged by wars, corruption and poverty in recent years.

COVID is life threatening. As such, every element of society, including human rights groups, should put the right to life above anything else. Political rights and individual freedoms — such as the right to spread disease, disseminate fake news and conduct civil disobedience — are harming society at this critical time. Human rights groups should refrain from sowing disunity, hatred and distrust within Cambodian society, for example through providing advocacy support and encouragement to people spreading fake news.
Instead, rights groups can educate people about their civic duties and encourage them to fully cooperate with necessary government measures, such as mobility restrictions and quarantine. Human rights group can also help promote awareness of the importance of vaccination. Human rights groups and foreign embassies should follow its lead.
In Vietnam, companies have managed on-site manufacturing by imposing a strict isolation policy and providing personal-care products to stop workers from going outside.
