Housing: Families in need of support are identified by local community members. The most needy are supported by providing appropriate housing including: new housing, renovations and toilet facilities. With the help of generous donors from Australia and elsewhere, each year approx.15 families receive this life changing support.
When travel restrictions allow, groups from Australia will once again travel to Cambodia to assist in the building of new houses and toilet facilities.

Emergency Food Distribution: Many households struggle to find enough food for their family. KNGO Cambodia identifies these families in their local communities and, thanks to generous donors in Australia, provides rice, sauces and water to help these families to survive. Local organisations have also come on board to assist these struggling households.
