Lower Mekong Food Security Database

Project Information

The goal of the Wholistic Development Organisation is to develop a core group of local Christians who are able to work with their communities in facilitating transformational development in each community in Cambodia. These groups will have the capacity to implement a process of holistic development, by facilitating community initiatives that contribute to food security, income generation, literacy and health.

The problems that the WDO project is trying to address are:

• Community disempowerment. Part of the legacy of the Khmer Rouge era has been a reduction in people‘s ability to care for their families, and a reduction in communities‘ decision-making abilities and participation in activities.
  
• Limited church responses to needs. Church expressions of compassion are often relief-oriented, which create dependency and result in ”rice Christians‘.
