Wells and Filter System Raising Campaign Program

Dear Donors and Friends of CCO,

Over these last weeks, I have been trying to understand the impact of a global pandemic on the poorest among us. In a word, the situation is crippling. Even one day without work means no food on the table. Even one day without income means that children are torn from school to work in any way possible. Many of us cannot even fathom such a situation for our own families.

We are approaching one month when the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Imagine what these men, women, and children are experiencing after a month of no work, additional mouths to feed, and restrictions on contact. It is a heartbreaking scenario.

Many of our neighbors in Cambodia that Cambodian Charity Organization supports are facing a dire future. Cambodian Charity Organization itself is sorely lacking in funds to operate – one of our main sources of funding came from our team house and school building program – which of course has ground to a halt with a travel stop.

We’d like to extend an appeal to you, our donor family. Please don’t forget about those who truly need a roof over their heads or food to feed their family. We know that there is a high level of uncertainty. Whatever you can spare is a blessing to us. We would love to utilize our Cambodia staff to build houses for the people that were promised one through our team building program, School cost.
