Cambodia
Cambodia experienced severe conflict for
twenty years, especially under the Pol Pot
regime from 1975 through 1979, which left
the country in chaos. The negative influence
of that era remains strong in the fields
of medical care and education.
In 1993, FIDR donated pharmaceutical products
to the National Pediatric Hospital in Phnom
Penh, marking the start of FIDR's projects
in Cambodia. The Cambodia office was established
in Phnom Penh in 1996. Since then, FIDR has
been conducting projects in various fields
including medical and health care, education,
and agriculture.

○Climate
Cambodia is located between the Tropic of
Cancer and the equator, so the climate is
hot and humid. The average temperature is
28℃.
The rainy season is from May to October,
and the dry season from November to April.
Cambodia is a verdant country throughout
the year.

○Economy
More than 80% of Cambodians are farmers,
who make their living through agriculture
using traditional methods. Those living in
rural areas generally live in poverty. Statistics
shows that 1/3 of the population lives on
