The Edmonds Daybreakers Rotary Club on Tuesday announced the completion of a successful fundraising campaign to provide assistance to more than 300 impoverished village families in Cambodia affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Grants totaling $15,800 have been made to three carefully vetted local non-government organizations (NGOs) working with the residents of small villages outside the city of Siem Reap. In total, these grants will directly address the food security needs of more than 1,500 people currently living in poverty.
These villagers have experienced relatively few cases of the virus, but critical food security issues have arisen in this highly tourist-dependent region of Cambodia
