IF YOU CANNOT FEED A HUNDRED PEOPLE, THEN FEED JUST ONE

The People Improvement Organization (PIO) is a local NGO operating in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. JustWorld funds operational costs for two schools in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, serving children in desperately poor communities from kindergarten through 12th grade by providing educational materials, qualified teachers, nutritious meals, health care, and rice allotments for families.

The Family Rice Program distributes rice allotments to families with children attending classes. Each child’s family receives 11 pounds of rice each month, thus reducing the need to send children to gather food scraps or to earn money by picking through local garbage dumps.

Currently, there are 1,138 students and their families being supported by the Family Rice Program.The Family Rice Program uses 144,000 pounds of rice a year.

A donation as small as $36 will support one child for one month.
