Where We Work

Cambodia

Helen Keller Intl, in collaboration with Cambodia’s Council for Agricultural and Rural Development, the Office of the Council of the Ministers, and the Ministry of Health, is working to improve nutrition, increase food security, and prevent diseases. Helen Keller helps foster optimal nutrition for millions by advocating for transparent nutrition policies, supporting mothers with comprehensive prenatal vitamins and breastfeeding, and delivering essential nutrients, like vitamin A, to young children. Helen Keller also empowers women with tools and education to grow their own nutritious food, ensuring healthy meals for their families and supplemental income from selling surplus produce at markets.

2 out of 3 of pregnant women don’t get enough iodine or zinc, micronutrient deficiencies that make it difficult to keep themselves and their unborn child healthy.

Rising food prices and climate crises make farming more challenging, making it difficult for families to keep nutritious foods on their tables.

22% of Cambodian children under the age of 5 are stunted due to malnutrition.

Together, we help communities create lasting change by:

Scaling up prenatal vitamins that have more nutrients than iron-folic-acid supplements alone, fostering healthier pregnancies and better birth outcomes.

Helping communities scale up climate-smart and nutrition-sensitive agriculture practices so families can thrive.

Treating malnourished children with locally-made ready-to-use therapeutic foods to rapidly improve their health and nutrition.
