Cambodia Trust
The Cambodia Trust works with disadvantaged disabled people to enable them to participate in education and employment so they can live self-sufficient lives. Our projects in Cambodia, Timor Leste (East Timor) and Sri Lanka offer a helping hand out of poverty for landmine survivors and other disabled people, through physical rehabilitation, community-based rehabilitation, training and advocacy.
WHY DONATIONS ARE NEEDED
In the developing countries where we work, disabled people are the poorest of the poor. Discriminated against at every level of society, they are seen as useless and a burden on the family. Excluded from education and employment opportunities, they remain trapped in the cycle of poverty. Mobility is the first step towards self-sufficiency. Your contribution will be used to provide artificial limbs, orthopaedic braces and wheelchairs for landmine survivors and people affected by polio, leprosy, cerebral palsy and club foot. Donations are also used to provide bicycles to make it easier for disabled children to get to school; and to purchase tools to help disabled adults to set up their own small businesses.
The Cambodia Trust will receive £1 per recyclable cartridge and £3 per recyclable mobile phone that you register and return.
