Cambodi​an Rice Run​
Kid care is an exciting new project we are so proud to be apart of, in conjunction with
ABCs and Rice, our sister Charity in Cambodia.
Based within the school grounds of ABC's and Rice, Kid Care is set up in a separate building and is a fully equipped medical room. Our aim is to eventually provide first aid and emergency care to students at the school, and their families; as well as provide outreach clinics in surrounding villages, giving free health care to those in need.
ABCs and Rice is an NGO working in Siem Reap to improve the quality of life for those caught in the poverty trap. It aims to provide an education and nutrition to children from low income families, so as an adult, they can gain employment and therefore an income for them and their families. Currently, approximately 250 children benefit from the services provided by ABC's and Rice.
Whilst education and nutrition continue to be achieved, healthcare is being provided by teachers and other staff who have basic first aid training. We assist ABCS & Rice by providing monthly funding to assist them in employing a local Khmer nurse, Nina, who has previously worked in healthcare in Cambodia. Nina currently provides basic first aid to the students, as well as health education classes, nit control and hygiene education. We also have Nurses from Australia who offer volunteer services when in Siem Reap.
In the future we would love for Nina to be able to undertake “outreach” clinics to surrounding villages such as Poom Veal, Poom Sala Consigne and Poom Tak Sen Tbang. These clinics would include basic wound care and health advice, as well as giving nursing care to try and prevent a hospital admission.
