Cambodia – Habitat for Humanity International, Habitat for Humanity Cambodia

COUNTRY

Cambodia is a state with a population of 16 million in Southeast Asia. It is one of the fastest developing countries, with the average growth rate of 7.7% between 1995 and 2017 (World Bank data). The poverty rate is decreasing, but the situation of many people has changed only slightly and they are still in the at-risk group.

An overwhelming majority of children finish primary school, but only just over 50% graduate from secondary school, which deviates from the standards in other low/middle income countries.

Cambodia’s economy is based on tourism, clothes manufacturing, the construction industry, the real estate market, and agriculture.

ORGANISATION

Habitat for Humanity is a global, nonprofit housing organisation with over 40 years of experience who is a global leader in the housing sector.

Since its establishment in 1976, the organisation has built more than 1,3 milion homes and served over 22 million people in over 70 countires.

In Cambodia, Habitat for Humanity has provided safe shelter to more than 22 thousand families. A dignified home gives them the opportunity for a lasting improvement in their situation and a way out of poverty.

PROJECT

Kulczyk Foundation supported the Mekong Big Build 2013 project.

Dominika Kulczyk

The right to have your own place, your haven, your stronghold, the place of joys and sorrows, is one of the basic human rights. I think that to have a home is the first step many people wish they could take.

Social awareness programs

Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .

Documentaries

Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.

Educational programs

Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
