Humanitarian Emergency Aid
Especially in the countryside around the Smiling Gecko area, many families suffer from existential hardship, food shortages and hunger. They are regularly supported by Smiling Gecko with food packages and medical care.
The poverty of the people makes us realize how important good education and sustainable economic income opportunities are for the development of a society. Therefore, in addition to humanitarian aid, we place particular focus on the continuation and expansion of the holistic and sustainable Smiling Gecko cluster projects, even in times of crisis.
Humanitarian Emergency Aid
The consequences of the pandemic are felt dramatically in Cambodia, especially in the rural areas. For many people the loss of their job means the loss of the only source of income for the whole family. In most cases, there are no financial reserves and no provision or support from social security services or the state. Thus, in many cases, the consequence of the lockdown of almost of tourism facilities and textile factories is synonymous with existential hardship, food shortages and hunger.
Many families in the area of the SGC project therefore have to be supported by Smiling Gecko with much needed food and medical care in order to survive. In order to deliver this humanitarian aid, we rely on your donations and support and we thank you for your great solidarity and support since the Covid-19 virus outbreak.
Hannes Schmid, over the whole course of his stay on the project site, will inform in irregular intervals via short video blogs about the latest situation and current developments. These video blogs will be posted on our social media channels and website.
Humanitarian Emergency Aid
Thus, in many cases, the consequences of the lockdown in tourism and textile factories are synonymous with existential hardship, food shortages and hunger. Families in the area are scrambling for food and thus need to be supported by Smiling Gecko with food packages in order to survive.
The pandemic has once again shown us how important good education and sustainable economic income opportunities are for the development of a society. Above all, it has shown us the terrible impact such crises have, especially in the poorest countries of the world. For Smiling Gecko, the focus of our efforts is not only the humanitarian aid to support the families and children affected by the acute need, but also the continuation and expansion of the holistic and sustainable cluster projects.
