    Foreword

    Dear friends,

    It is with great pleasure that once again I write a few words for introducing the presentation of theactivities we conducted and its achievements in 2008. The past year has been very important for many

    reasons.While several of our projects' funding were due to expire, we had to decide whether to continue or notsome of our activities. As the economic crisis also reminds us from the fragility of non-governmentalorganizations as ours, so dependent on the generosity of its donors, choices had to be taken.

    After having assessed our capacities and human resources, we decided to stop our involvement in thefield of handicraft. We still do believe that this is an extremely important and promising sector for thedevelopment of a country like Cambodia, but in our globalized world, we must be able to compete.Even a non-profit organization! If the Western consumer is willing to pay more to acquire a fair tradeproduct, he/she also expects a good quality for it. In other words, it asks us to really develop thecapacity of local people and not just to provide aid. Such a requirement is very positive as it obliges usto be true professionals, that is to say how to combine the spirit of generosity with a concrete know-how. If the goodwill remains an essential element of our work, it must be accompanied by a desire of

    efficiency. Otherwise our efforts will be useless.

    All along the past year, we have reflected not only on our strengths and weaknesses, but also on thebest way for us to fulfill our vocation: being actor of a sustainable development, efficient andrespectful of all our partners, the Cambodian people, our beneficiaries, and also you, donors andfriends. Such discernment led us to focus on two spheres: education and disability.

    Education is a broad field, and it would be unrealistic to try to cover all its aspects. We therefore,center our interest on early childhood because it is often at this crucial stage of life that our future laysdown. In order to give to every child the same chance at the beginning of his/her life, and because wehave gained concrete and practical experience, we have chosen to strengthen our work in this area.But when we talk about education, we also think of health and agricultural training for parents. To theagricultural habits passed on from generation to generation, we want to add technical expertise so that

    each of our beneficiaries can improve their yield quality and quantity. As a result, they will be able toimprove the standard of living of their families. For mothers, who are so often in the front line to dealwith the health issues of their families, we want to share a few basic rules which often can avoid thecomplications of the diseases for themselves and their children. This transmission of knowledge isnothing extraordinary, but it requires a real knowledge of the field, as New Humanity has earned duringthe past years, to match needs and solutions.

    And then, there is the realm of disability, physical disability but also and especially mental disability.This sector is often ignored by the development actors, not being considered as the main priority.However, if we dream of a society free of any kind of exclusion, as we do, it is our concern to giveequal dignity and respect to each person. For such goal, we are determined to continue and expand ouraction in favor of those suffering from impairment and for their families. Such work is difficult tomeasure in terms of numbers. Teaching to care, sharing the value of taking care of somebody withoutexpecting any reward, changing attitudes toward those who are different are rather activities assessed

    in term of quality. Sometimes it is painful, especially when you see those you care passing away, butoften the result is great, it is the gift of love.

    I hope the following pages will help you to understand better our work and the spirit in which weaccomplish it on a daily basis. All the team members of New Humanity developed these pages to sharewith you the fruit of a collective effort, ours and yours.

    Sincerely,

    Herv RoqueplanCountry Director

    Our Vision

    A society where everyone can receive education and care, according to his needs and abilities, andparticipate to the development in his own rural or urban communities.

    Our MissionThe main mission of New Humanity is to promote education in order to contribute to the fight againstall forms of poverty and exclusion, affirming the dignity and rights of every human being.

    With the aim of fulfilling such Mission, New Humanity interventions tend to: Develop and improve education and care services, especially for children and people withdisabilities, by working in partnership with local communities. Develop and improve agricultural activities in local communities, with particular attention to ethnicminorities.

    Our Values

    The values that underpin the entire sphere of activities of New Humanity are those inspired by theHoly Scriptures and the Christian social doctrine.

    With this clear idea of building a "civilization of love", New Humanity identifies four fundamentalvalues that must be promoted in the implementation of each activity: Fraternity: mutual trust and sincere and open dialogue; New Humanity rejects all forms of

    discrimination and believes in the primacy of dialogue between different realities. Respect for the dignity of human being, people's culture and the value of life Preferential service to the poor, following the example of Jesus Solidarity: Pope John Paul II says that "It is not a simple feeling of compassion ... on the contrary,

    a firm and persevering determination to work for the common good of all and everyone"

    Our background

    New Humanity is a catholic international humanitarian organization. Nongovernmental, nonpoliticaland nonprofit making, it has been created by the P.I.M.E. (Pontificio Istituto Missioni Estere - PontificalInstitute for Foreign Missions) in 1992.

    The same year we opened an office in Cambodia and signed our first Agreement with the Ministryof Education. Since then we have carried out several education and/or rural development projects in5 different places: Kampong Speu (closed), Phnom Penh (since 1994), Kandal (since 2001),Kampong Chhnang (since 2002), and Mondolkiri (since 2007).

    To foster development integrating every member of the community, we implemented programs in 4sectors of activities: Education, Health, Disability and Agriculture. For each project, we focus on themost vulnerable like children, people with disabilites and ethnic minorities.

    Among our priorities, the training of local population takes a significant role. All our activities areimplemented using local human resources, the best way for us to make the community owning theproject and also to build its capacity for a future autonomy.

    Early Childhood Care and Education

    New Humanity is convinced that bringing early education to Cambodian children is the path toimprove their well-being. However, a good development of the childrens brain cannot be possiblewithout taking into consideration the health situation of the child. That is why NH has added a healthcare component for its ECCE program in order to ensure a holistic child development.

    With a solid program developed, including a particular attention to children's health condition, wedo believe that is possible to increase the enrollment rate in primary school and raise the survivalrate too.

    This program was implemented in 2 different provinces, covering a total of 3 districts and 11communes.

    For the school year 20072008, there were 340 five-year-old children (188 girls) enrolled in 15different kindergartens in Tuek Phos, Boribor and Pech Chreda districts. Out of 340 childrenenrolled, 332 completed the whole school year.

    In the 10 kindergartens of Kompong Chhnang, 91 percent of thechildren attended classes regularly, in other words they came 3 to

    5 days a week. This high percentage, considered in Cambodiacontext, indicates an increased attention of parents sending theiroffspring to school on a regular basis. However, in the 3kindergartens of Mondolkiri, only 75 percent of the childrenattended the classes regularly. The remarkable difference betweenthese two attendance rates can be explained by the fact that manyparents from ethnic minority groups go planting in distant areas orhunting in the forest. In such cases, they prefer to bring theirchildren with them instead of letting them alone at home after class.

    Our teaching program focused especially on language

    development, cognitive and reasoning domain, sensorial area,social skills and gross motor movement. After the final assessment,we obtained more or less the same results in both provinces, exceptfor two indicators: the sensorial activities and the early reading.

    Fewer children in Mondolkiri achieved their learning goals related to artand craft activities mainly due to the fact that both, teachers and students,were not used to make creative works. Regarding the difficulty in reading,it came essentially from the fact that Khmer alphabet was new to them,

    whose mother tongue is Phnong.

    Besides we had to underline that teachers in Mondolkiri are new and, as for all ouractivities, time is necessary to build capacities of our staff.

    Thanks to the daily breakfast (rice porridge with meat and vegetables), prepared by the parents,most of the children gained weight. Regarding personal hygiene, teachers have tried hard this yearto encourage at least a minimum of hygiene for their pupils. The children wash their hands beforebreakfast, brush their teeth afterwards and take a shower before going home. This initiative has

    been reinforced by the establishment of a new health component whose main objectives are not onlythe improvement of childrens hygiene but also their families health condition through healtheducation to their mothers.

    Parents have shown their efforts accordingly to their possibilities in terms of rice and time dedicatedfor cooking the childrens breakfast. Another evidence of parents' involvement was their presence inthe 6 parents meeting organized each year. In Kompong Chhnang the attendance was good, with arate of 75.5 percent while in the case of Mondolkiri, the rate was significantly lower (55 percent) butstill positive if taken into account the environment and cultural context of this ethnic group. Healthstaff of NH took advantage of these meetings to provide health education and share informationabout what their children are learning.

    For the school year 2008 - 2009 we have opened 2 new kindergartens in Mondolkiri in order torespond to the request of the parents. This is a good sign of hope regarding the interest of parentsin education.

    Improving the health of our beneficiaries

    New Humanitys health component is mainly designed as an ongoing training program for mothersand teachers of ECCE program. We are conscious that good health of our beneficiaries is animperative to achieve all the objectives of our programs. Consequently, our staff has organized 64sessions for a total of 394 mothers. The goal was to improve the childrens health by providing basiceducation on common diseases and sanitation totheir mothers. So far, they have learnt how to

    recognize the symptoms of those illnesses and theimportance of hygiene and clean waterconsumption to prevent infectious diseases. In2009 we have planned to continue this trainingfor other kindergarteners mothers to extend thenumber of beneficiaries.

    With the purpose of assuring childrens hygieneand health, the health staff also trained thekindergarten and primary teachers on the sametopics taught to the mothers. During this year, 35trainings were conducted, 1 for 11 kindergarten

    teachers, and 34 for 107 primary schoolteachers. This initiative has raised the awarenessof teachers regarding childrens hygiene on dailybasis and consumption of clean water thanks toprovision of ceramic water purifiers for all theschools targeted.

    Recently, the staff working for people withdisabilities has been integrated in the list of basichealth education training conducted by our healthprogram team. The goal is to integrate NHs

    activities as much as possible, but also to improvethe service for children with physical and mentalimpairments.

    Waiting in hope to join the Kindergarten

    Sophy, 44 years old, is a mother of four children (2 girls). She is living in TangThnem village (Kompong Chhnang province). Her third daughter, Thoeur Kynin, isnow 5 years old and she has joined our kindergarten in Svay Kal village. Sayingthat she received information about kindergarten activities from the schooldirector, she added "I never thought about kindergarten before". Nevertheless shedecided to enroll her daughter as fast as possible and agreed to participate

    actively to the program.Even though she lives 2 km away from the school, every day she takes herdaughter to kindergarten by walk. "We have only one bike at home used by my twosons to go to school, but I am very happy to bring my daughter by walk''Even if sheis very busy with farming activities, she has been very regular bringing herdaughter to school and helping to cook porridge for the kindergarteners. Besides,she also contributed one kilogram of rice every month.

    With a smiling face, Sophy told us about the different changes of her daughters behavior after attending thekindergarten. Now she can read and write the Khmer alphabet, sing and dance different songs, draw and colorpictures. She is more talkative and active. I feel joyful to see the kids taking a shower and eating their meal; they lookhappy too".She shared with us her expectations about her youngest daughter to be enrolled in the kindergarten next yearHere is my youngest daughter. She is just 4 years old, but she likes the kindergarten class very much. Every time I takeor fetch her sister from school, she insists coming with me".

    "We are healthier..."

    Tim Chhoeun, 28 years old, and his wife Chim Sauth,29 years old, are farmers living in Chak village,Kompong Chhnang province. They have 3 children. Thefirst son is 5 years old and he is attending NHskindergarten.Being the mother of smallchildren, Chim Sauth wasinvited to attend healthtraining courses of NewHumanity. After shedelivered the third child, herhusband took the relay toattend the training instead.Finally both of them have

    learnt important topics suchas body hygiene, teeth andmouth hygiene, skin diseases,eye care, and food hygiene.I learnt about things that I never paid attention before,I thought it was not important but now I realize that if Ihave known before, I could have saved a lot of moneyTim Chhoeun said. After training, they also receivedsupplies to develop hygiene habits.My children, my wife, and I are healthier. My youngestchild is 7 months old now, and he has never got sicksince he was born. I dont have to spend much money ontreatment as before. I can use the money for somethingelse; especially, sending my children to school, Tim

    The staff of our healthprogram is stronglycommitted to the goal ofclean water for all. Support

    for wells construction andsupply of ceramic water

    purifiers has become the wayto achieve this goal. It is still along way to go, though.For people who are alreadyaffected by some kinds ofdiseases in our targetedareas, we developed anEmergency Relief project;consequently, people can besupported in difficult times.

    This project mainly referred sickpeople to health facilitiesaccording to the gravity and kindof health problem. This year atotal of 93 people were referredto clinics and hospitals where theyreceived quality care andtreatment.

    In addition, Emergency Relief alsodeals with other kinds ofproblems like food and milksupport for families in extreme

    poverty or house repair in case of sudden damage or natural catastrophe. This year, a total of 63families (474 people) have benefited from this specific support.

    Supporting Students at Risk

    In order to raise the survival rate in schools, New Humanity has granted scholarship to 454 students(232 girls) aged from 9 to 22 for the school year 2007-2008. These students received all thepedagogical material needed to pursue their studies efficiently. All these students, who went to 15different schools, came from 21 different villages in 4 communes of Boribor District.

    From the total number of scholarship holders, only 2percent dropped out from school. This percentageis under the 5 percent of dropout registered by theprovincial public schools.

    The results obtained for the remaining 445scholarship holders (204 girls) were successful as91 percent of them passed to the next grade while

    the figures from the provincial schools showed thatonly 84 percent of students passed successfully tothe next grade.

    The first reason of such achievement was theconsistent work displayed by the committeemembers whose close monitoring among thestudents with difficulties was indeed a key factorfor a fruitful survival rate. The second reason wasthe positive involvement of parents who attendedregularly the meetings organized by NH staff inorder to inform them of their children's progressesand to raise their understanding on educationalissues.

    Developing a Culture of Reading

    In our search for developing readinghabit among children and adults, NewHumanity has increased the number ofbeneficiaries of our mobile library to439 people in 2008. A total of 349children and around 90 adults visitedthe mobile library in 8 villages. Thesepeople made up a total number of8.398 multiple visits last year. Thesefigures mean that each beneficiaryattended our mobile library at least

    19 times out of 24 visits in 2008. Wedo believe that these results areencouraging regarding a progressiveacquisition of reading habit amongthe population, especially children.

    Our mobile library has also extendedits action to schools. There were atotal of 529 students who visited themobile library. These students madeup a total number of 7.291 multiple

    visits last year. These figures meanthat each student visited the mobile library at least 14 times during 2008. The total number ofstudents represents the 23 percent of the total school population, a positive result as students in ruralareas have very low profile in reading.

    Regarding the activities of NH in 34 schools libraries, wehave recorded the visit of 7.808 students in 2008. Each ofthese students has visited the library at least 8 times inaverage, making a total result of 61,246 (girls: 30,064)multiple entries. These 7,808 admissions correspond to 75%of the total population in the 34 schools, which is certainly agood attendance rate and a sign which indicates the righttrack for increasing reading habit among students.

    Thirsty for knowledge

    Ven Sok Kheang, a 13-year-old girl of afamily of 6 members, is currently studyingin grade 6 in Thlok Chrov Primary School.

    Kheang shared with us that she enjoys verymuch the regular visits (twice a month) ofour mobile library in her village. However,being the eldest child in her family, she haslots of responsibilities to accomplish after

    class; cook the meals for the whole family, feed the animals, andmake sugar from palm juice collected by her father. Despite all

    these occupations she has kept attending the mobile library faithfullyfor 2 years.She also confessed to us that her parents had never been happy toallow her to get out of the house to go for reading because theywanted her to help them at home. Thanks to her strong determinationshe made a deal with their parents to allow her to go for one hourreading, each time the library visits her place. Despite all, SokKheang was not completely happy as their parents did not allow heryoung brother to come with her.I am very happy with the mobile library program. I can find manyinteresting books to read. Books help me to improve my reading, andat the same time I can learn more about many things. I read also funnystories to change my thoughtsshe added.

    Literacy, a key of autonomy

    In 2008 New Humanity organized 14 literacy courses in 12 differentvillages. These courses have reached 228 people (188 women) agedfrom 15 to 45 years old. Although the attendance rate was high (80percent) only 149 (134 women) could achieve the complete course cycle.

    Our literacy activities in Boribor have produced so far fruitful outcomes. According tolocal information from village leaders, the number of illiterate people has decreasedby 58 percent in 6 years of continuous work with a committed staff who cares for thefuture of the people.

    The main factor that hindered excel results for this project was poverty. 79 (35 percent) out of theinitial 228 participants of literacy program abandoned the course because of family incomegeneration needed. Some of them were very busy working in the rice field and forest while othersdecided to migrate in search for better opportunities in the capital as garment factory workers orjoin the construction sites spread out in Phnom Penh.Even though this situation is largely understandable; yet, the context of their distress and need, it hasan enormous impact on literacy programs attendance rate.

    Enhancing Life Skills

    With the aim of improving the quality of life of some poor families, NH designed life skills trainingfor women 6 years ago. This training focused in the confection of handicraft. In 2008 a total of 40beneficiaries finished their training.

    Even though there has been a clear improvement on capacity building for women to make tailoringand handicraft, the markets in Cambodia are inundated with other products; this fact makes thehandicraft market very competitive for inside and outside trade. Nevertheless, thanks to some ordersreceived from the local market, the beneficiaries could still generate some income last year.

    Due to the complexity of fair trade andthe "competition" of many otherorganizations with greater and longerexperience, the results regarding incomegeneration were moderate as we couldnot really increase the familys incomegeneration on regular basis. Inconsequence, and accordingly to the

    original plan, we decided to close theproject at the end of 2008.

    Nevertheless, our beneficiaries alreadybenefited from the training they havereceived. Additionally, we decided toprovide them with sewing machines. Thuseach of them can continue their practiceand occasionally generate or save somemoney for their families, sewing clothesfor them or others.

    The life skills training activities were alsoextended to schools in order tointroduce technical tools for secondary

    New tool for Income Generation

    Long Bunnin, 26 years old, is the second child of a farmer familyof 6 people, living in Chak village, Kompong Chhnang province.With her three brothers, they are still living under the roof of herparents and help them in farming activities.

    Unlike her younger brothers, Bunnin could not reach grade 12.When she was in grade 6, her family experienced a severefinancial problem because most of their money was spent for her

    fathers health treatment. At that time their crops were destroyedby flooding. That is why Bunnin had to drop out of school in orderto help her family.

    In 2004, New Humanity implemented a project to provide trainingfor sewing and embroidery.

    When I knew about theproject, I decided to join itright away, I like sewing.Meanwhile she learnt sewingand embroidery techniques.Besides she could generatesome income sewing uniformsfor kindergarten students. At

    the present time, she can earnsome extra money sewingclothes for the other villagers.

    female students in Boribor. The training was given in 4 different schools for 119 students in grade 8who learnt techniques on sewing, embroidery and crochet. At the end of the training course most ofthese students were able to cut and sew clothes such as: skirts, pants, and shirts. NH granted the beststudents sewing machines; thus they can still keep practicing and improving.

    Mainstreaming Gender Equality in Rural Communities

    All activities of New Humanity stronglyencourage the active participation ofwomen, and with an identical will, wehave organized eagerly 8 workshopseries on Gender Perception andDomestic Violence, in 4 targeted areasof Boribor District. The beneficiariescame from 21 different villages.

    Before starting the workshop series thestaff of NH conducted a preliminarystudy about the most current issuesrelated to gender and violence in orderto match the contents of the workshopswith their present needs.

    We collaborated with the Women Affairs Department staff and thanks to their involvement wecarried out our activities successfully. Every workshop welcomed an average of 85 villagers and 5local authorities. The fact that local authorities attended the workshops was actually a relevantachievement, because these authorities have to deal with domestic violence issues and otherproblems related with gender quite often.

    These activities reach a total of 697 beneficiaries, most of them being women (75 percent). Peopleparticipated actively sharing their own experiences and showing receptiveness to the topics taught.

    Building up Human Resources

    Computer technical skills for rural students

    In 2008 we have continued the activities of our student hostel to support underprivileged youth fromrural areas to develop skills on information and communication technologies, in cooperation with the

    Center for Information System Training, a structure developed by Digital Bridges, a French NGO.In October 2008, 4 students from the School Year 2006/2008 finished their studies and then left ourcenter, having already found a job at the same place they have done their internship.

    Currently, NH is supporting 12 students bypaying their school fees and providing themwith health insurance. 10 out of 12 live in ourboarding house benefiting free meals,

    lodging and a safe place to study and rest.

    This project has not only benefited its students, leadingthem to real employment opportunities, but also bore fruitsin terms of partnership between educational NGOs underthe principles of mutual trust and self-commitment. Indeed,since we had space available in our hostel we accepted the request ofCIST to welcome 3 new students, CIST being in charge of school fees,health insurance and food for them. Thus at the end of 2008 we arewelcoming a total of 13 youths in our students boarding house.

    A new generation of Cambodian social researchers

    In 2008 New Humanity was still fully involved in the management of Master Program in Sociology. Inresponse to a formal request by the Royal University of Phnom Penh, NH implemented a secondbatch program in 2007 and finished by the end of 2008. Indeed, after the results obtained in thepilot program, it was strongly recommended by the Academic authorities that such capacity buildingshould be maintained on regular basis.

    Unlike the first batch which consisted of 25 beneficiaries, this new batch had only 15 students.However, along the way one student dropped out the program, thus we had a total of 14 studentswho were granted a master degree. All of them received scholarships according to their economicsituation to help their studies and daily living.

    After the defense of their master theses, 4 out of 14 were congratulated for their quality researchand its relevance for Cambodian society. These positive results were the result of various combinedfactors, qualified lecturers, exposures inside and outside (one month exposure in Chiang Mai

    University, Thailand) Cambodia, and a remarkable motivational commitment of students. Thesestudents have received invitations to present their research in international academic seminars held inKyoto (Japan), Vientiane (Laos), Chiang Mai (Thailand) and Kun Ming (China).

    Education: a matter of perception!

    Lay Kim Chhut, 42 years old, is a mother of 4 children. She and her husband are farmers and living in Phneat village,Kompong Chhnang province. Even though they share common ideas most of the time, her husbands opinion abouteducation was quite different from hers. My husband didnt want to spend money on the education of our children;instead he used to ask them for help in the rice field, I was always against that. Unfortunately, she got a serious healthproblem and then they spent a lot of money. With no choice, her first son had to stop in grade 9 to help her husbandin the rice field, and her third daughter had to stop in grade 5 to help her doing house chores.

    In spite of such difficulties, in 2007 her second son, Doeur Chanra, had successfullyfinished high school. However there was no more money to support him for furtherstudies and at that time his future seemed overshadowed. When they found that NHwas granting scholarships, they applied succesfully and since then Chanra is studyingInformation Technology at CIST (Center for Information Systems Training) in PhnomPenh.I was so happy for my son, but also worried for his life in the capital at the beginning;later on I knew that he was receiving a good accommodation and food. Now I am notworried anymore, on the contrary I trust New HumanitySince October 2007, her son has been granted a scholarship, board and lodging byNew Humanity. So far he has finished his first year successfully and will begraduated in October 2009.

    Moreover, this second intake wasone step forward for theprograms ownership process interms of local participation. NewHumanity requested the RoyalUniversity more academicparticipation. Such a request waswell received and thus most ofthe courses were handled byCambodian scholars withstandard qualifications frominternational universities.

    The labor market for this newbatch is promising due to most ofthe students has already got ajob, especially in NGOs andresearch centers. Since we have

    not yet conducted an impactmonitoring, the results are not identified systematically until now.The age range of this batch (25-30 years old compared to 25-45 years-old for the previous intake)is an important factor to understand the fact that they found a job more easily: they have betterEnglish language proficiency, greater openness to challenges, and are definitely more prepared towork away from home.

    Message from a former student

    Kalyan Hun is a former student of MASA program. She is currently working for the Cooperation Committee forCambodia, a major networking NGO.

    "Recently, I just graduated in master in Socio-Anthropology. This MA has had an enormous impact in my life. It gaveme the tools to achieve my goals using what I have learned in the real practice and to contribute to alleviatepoverty in Cambodian society through knowledge and research.

    Through this program I developed my critical and analytical skills regarding social and cultural issues. This chanceopened for me an intellectual door towards a better understanding of the world with a different perspective. Usingsociological and anthropological theory I broaden my worldview well beyond my awareness before.

    While studying I was very tempted to get a job at the same time, so I could deal with some financial constraints, butthanks to NH scholarship I could cope with this difficulty and then achieve my goal; study hard in order to find a jobrelated to the background just acquired.

    This MA has encouraged me to be more critical thinking towards my own society in terms of development. Eventhough I know that I cannot change my country from one day to another, I am sure that through my social researchskills in some organization I can make the change."

    Developing Services and Support for People with Disabilities

    In 2001 New Humanity established a small day care center in the middle of the rice fields ofAmpeou Prey commune (Kandal Province) in order to respond to the critical situation of children andadults with disability who often do not receive any kind of special care and are excluded from thecommunity life, no plan for their rehabilitation being prepared.

    Since then we have been committedto find ways for supporting peoplewith physical and intellectualdisabilities from rural areas,establishing needed andappropriate services to them butwithout taking them out of their ownenvironment.

    The process has been slow, butthroughout the years we learnt thatchanges can be shown only in along term. Once our experiencetook shape and our patience wastested, we decided to reflect aboutthe new directions of NH. As aresult of this discernment, weopened two new centers in 2006.According to our preliminary

    feasibility study about the prevalence of disability undertaken in New Humanity targeted areas, 2communes in Kompong Chhnang province were chosen: Anhchanh Roung and Popel.

    Currently we have 3 centers operating with the aim of supporting people with disabilities and theirfamilies. These centers attempt to provide them with a daily rhythm like the rest of the people. Arhythm of life that is composed of: time for learning, for eating, for playing, and also a time forcaring. The number of direct beneficiaries in these 3 centers is 30 people plus 14 who receiveregular personal assistance at home due to long distances to be covered.

    In the course of the last 3 years, we have identified 9 new beneficiaries. Most of them are mainlyvery young children with disabilities, brought by their mothers who have heard about our centers. Onthe other hand we had 12 beneficiaries who left the centers for various reasons: 2 have changedlocation, 5 were referred to other NGOs for specific treatment, and unfortunately 5 passed away.

    Teaching activities

    Basic instruction and care were provided by the teachers at the centers and through PersonalAssistance program. Our staff is permanently finding ways to teach our beneficiaries but often, just

    being and playing with themrepresents the best possibility forintellectual stimulation. Ourchildren, whose impairment is nottoo severe, have shown forinstance hopeful improvement.

    Progress speed is relative; age and severity ofthe impairment are the main variables. Theoldest with mild impairment can write someKhmer letters or even compose some words,read some simple sentences and for some even can count upto 100. The youngest with mild impairment have learned torecognize basic shapes and objects of everyday life, andsome are even able to identify parts of the body. Some ofthem have also shown considerable improvement in theirspeech ability.

    Thanks to the contribution of the staff from NH Health Program, children in our centers have acquiredbetter personal hygiene and some of them are able to participate in daily chores at the centers andat home as well.

    For other cases, where gravity of impairment is indeed severe, improvements are not so evident.Nevertheless the physiotherapy team and the special needs teachers never give up their hope.

    Physiotherapy activities

    In our centers, most of ourbeneficiaries are receiving

    physiotherapy 5 days a week fromMonday to Friday and 2 times perday, each session lasting about 45minutes. Some beneficiaries arereceiving physiotherapy not only inthe centre but also at home from theirown mothers who have followedsome informal instruction with NHstaff.

    In the framework of our personal

    assistance, 4 people with disabilitiesare also receiving physiotherapy, butnot on a daily basis.

    All the materials used by the staff for physiotherapy are composed or made of recycled objects suchold car tires, and from natural materials, such as bamboo bars, easy to find in the surroundings. Thiscreative way to deal with physiotherapy ensures somehow the sustainability of the resources neededboth for the centers and for their respective houses.

    Similar to our teaching activities, the results of physiotherapy depends on the gravity of theimpairment. Thus, for those beneficiaries suffering from muscular contractures, the outcomes of thetreatment were evident while for those beneficiaries with muscular dystrophy, there were no visibleindicators of improvement. However, the physiotherapy sessions have definitely slowed down theevolution of the degenerative process, therefore avoiding deterioration of their fragile health status.

    In 2008 we have witnessedremarkable improvement ofthe process started years ago.Indeed we believe that basicphysiotherapeutic treatmentshave given hope and joy toseveral children. Some of themwho had difficulty to moveand some who were not ableto walk at all, have nowacquired a real autonomy,being able to move and walkwherever they want.

    Health care activities

    Special education andphysiotherapy are the pillars ofour centers; however beneficiarieshealth condition is our greaterconcern. We cannot expectpositive results without stablehealth situation. Thus, throughout 3

    years of our project we havereferred 24 (2006), 17 (2007)and 22 people with disabilities(2008) to the medical facilities inorder for them to receive anadequate treatment fromspecialized doctors.

    Thanks to an appropriate andtimely referral, most of our beneficiaries have been treated and healed successfully, whereas thosewith chronic diseases have to stay under close monitoring. Preventive measures have been taken into

    account too; daily meals are enriched with additional vitamins and proteins in order to strengthentheir health.

    Health condition monitoring does not only avoid a rapid physical deterioration but is also a keyfactor to keep their families away from the burden of long and costly treatment. Experience hasrevealed to us that a sick person with disability has many negative consequences on the wholefamilys financial situation. Anyway, illness cannot be evaded in such fragile condition of ourbeneficiaries. That is why NH supports familys expenses for food, traveling, accommodation,medicine and consultation in case of need.

    As a part of health program care we also facilitate a check up for teeth and ears, so ourbeneficiaries can have assistance in these areas. However, according to the doctors the mainproblem is not the limited number of consultations but the lack of daily hygienic habit provided bytheir parents. This issue is something that remains a challenge due to the lack of health careknowledge among rural population.

    Little improvement, but with great hope

    Hun Hourn is a 5 year-old boy. He was born withDown syndrome and heart complications. Thanksto the daily work of the staff of our day carecenter, Hourn is finally able to walk; this mobilityhas allowed him to develop his relationship withother children through playing games together.

    The ability to walk has given him moreindependence and self confidence thus now he isable to move wherever he wants and eat anddrink by himself.

    With daily caring and adequate nutrition regime,Hourn has acquired better health. Right now heweights 10 kg (2 kg more than the previous year).

    In contrast with his great improvement for mobility, Hourn is still unable tospeak more than a few words. He can just call his friends names and answerthe calling. He has also other deficiencies in learning like recognizing colorsand shapes. According to the teachers, Hourn needs more therapy and careat the center to see improvements. The teachers keep the hope that after afew years in the center, he could eventually join the public school.

    Advocacy for people with disabilities

    Provide service and support for people with disability is certainly ourleitmotif. Our second aim is to spread this spirit among the parents,relatives, and community in general. Then, the acceptance of thesechildren as lovable human beings by their families and society become true.

    Our strategy to advocate in favor of people with physical and intellectual impairment iscarried out during the monthly parent meetings, home visits, and outings to differentplaces outside the province where the centers are located.

    The parent meetings are a good time to discuss with them about their childrens life and evolution. Itis also a time to introduce preventive health education, especially the importance of hygiene in dailylife. The topics discussed by the staff were fundamental tips on how to clean food before cooking it;how to keep water and food clean; personal hygiene; how to keep the environment clean; first aids;smoking dangers; dengue fever; skin diseases; characteristics of mental problems; brain damage;meningitis; dehydration; bronchitis; and hepatitis A.

    Home visits are also planned each year in order to facilitate the reunion of families with theirchildren suffering from disability and the teachers. During these visits we share a meal while parentscould exchange their experiences and struggles.

    We also organized a total of three outdoor visits in other provinces, to favor cultural discovery andenhance their social interaction. The places visited in 2008 were Tonle Bati, a popular resort ofCambodia; Water Park, a well-known park in Phnom Penh; and Kompong Som, the main seasideresort of Cambodia; the international Children's Day ceremony. During these visits both staff and

    mothers are involved. These breaks in the dailyroutine of our centers play an important role in asuccessful and holistic therapy, for both childrenand parents.

    Our advocacy activities at macro-level areexpanded to public schools looking forward to theintegration for some of our beneficiaries to beintegrated into the main stream education system inCambodia. Although this aim of inclusive educationhas been difficult according to past experiences,

    we remain hopeful working it out.

    Staff training

    Within our three centers, a total of 9 teachers (2 in the center of Anhchanh Roung, 4 in the center ofPopel, and 3 in Kandaok) have ensured the operation of all our activities for People with Disabilities.All of them come from the areas where the centers are located.Since our principle was to employ local personnel to ensure continuity and sustainability of the

    project, the selection process was carefully carried out by our program technical advisor whose maincriteria were willingness to learn and open-mindedness of the candidates. After the selection process,we design a training program to form qualified human resources in this field.

    The capacity building provided for our staff, has improved considerably the quality of teaching andcare for our beneficiaries. Besides, the staffs ability to identify the needs of people with disabilitiesand prepare correspondingly daily activities for them has also been noticeably enhanced alongthese years.

    in charge of Personal Assistance for People with Disabilities.Since then I have learnt not only about their physical andintellectual limitations but also about their potentials anduniqueness. It is these discoveries that I would like to sharewith their mothers, thus their families can take care andencourage them to participate actively at home as much astheir impairment allow them to do.

    As we experienced happy moments in our center we havealso experienced sad events. In 2008 some children passedaway for various reasons, their departures have left a greatvacuum in our centers. After their decease, we accompaniedthe families for a while to share the grief with them".

    Tackling Poverty with Agriculture Development

    If education and health are New Humanitys first concern, agriculture development is an importantpart as well, to tackle the problems of malnutrition and low-income generation. From 2006 to 2008NH designed a project regarding Agriculture Development for Food Security (ADFS). The idea wasto have less food shortage despite frequent droughts and food crisis, enhancing rice yields and

    promoting vegetable cultivation and domestic animal rearing like poultry and livestock.

    Before 2006 most of our beneficiaries obtained squalid annual rice crops, this was barely enough tofeed their families. Although our project worked in a small scale, the results were very favorable inthe last 3 years. The main challenge was to convince the people to use new techniques like System ofRice Intensification which is sharply different from the rice farming traditionally practice in Cambodiafor thousands of years, but once the people have decided to adopt the new way, results speak forthemselves.

    Besides, we encouraged food diversification in their agricultural activities in order to becomemultipurpose farmers in the future. The farmers targeted at the beginning of the project were smallholders who are able to produce more robust rice yields, vegetable growers, animal raisers, andfaithful users of natural fertilizers. With the purpose of inspiring our beneficiaries, New Humanityalso implemented a Model Farm Center, a place where the trainees and villagers could observe theresults of techniques taught.

    According to the project plan, ADFS project has arrived to its end. However, in order to givecontinuity to this project NH designed a new project based on Mobile Training Center for AgricultureDevelopment (MTCAD), a project that seek to provide training on a requested subject by the peopleat their place. Consequently, you will find in this report a summary of ADFS activities for the last 3years and the recent outcomes of MTCAD project.

    Agriculture Development for Food Security (ADFS)Throughout the 3 years New Humanity staff organized 26 courses on System Rice Intensification(SRI), and these trainings reached a total of 628 farmers (448 women). After working in the 5communes for 3 years, we have seen remarkable improvement in the use of new agriculturaltechniques in order to increase their annual yields.

    SRI Basic principles

    Rice is not an aquatic plant, although thisplant can survive in flooded area.

    Fertilizer: Use of manure increases the soilsbiological productivity.

    Spacing: Space between each plant should

    be between 15 and 25 cm. in order to letthe roots of the plant grow bigger.

    Seedlings: Rice seedlings lose much of theirgrowth potential if they are transplantedmore than 15 days after they emerge intheir nursery. Therefore, this potential canbe preserved by early transplanting.

    Transplanting: is recommendable totransplant the rice at 1 or 2 centimeters intothe soil only and not deeper than that.

    Weeding: Regular weeding can permitbetter soil aeration which creates abeneficial condition for plant root growthand for consequent plant vigor and health.

    between 0.1 to 0.3 kilograms of rice per square meter (1 to 3 tons perhectare).

    Besides, beneficiaries have responded very positively to the creation andsustainability of the rice banks for food security. We can assume that thelivelihood of our beneficiaries have improved with news skills and a structure to helpthem in difficult times, especially avoiding or at least decreasing the number of debtswhich is one of the most important cause of poverty.

    Diversifying agriculture activities

    As people in our target areas dedicated most of their time in cultivating rice, the idea of NHactivities was to diversify farmers activities encouraging them to grow vegetables using naturalfertilizer taken from animal droppings. Our staff, for instance, conducted 34 trainings on vegetablecultivation in different villages.

    Farmers have responded enthusiastically to this kind of training, and we had a total participation of1,029 farmers, 83 percent of them are women. At the end of each course we provided them with acomplete toolkit for gardening, so they could put into practice the acquired skills. Since water is avery important component for vegetable growing, we have also helped 71 families to build theirwells.

    After the monitoring, the data collected aboutpeople practicing home gardening andapplying natural fertilizer and pesticideprocedures show us that changes wereeffective even if it takes time and are oftenimplemented on a partial basis.

    We also conducted 22 trainings on livestock indifferent villages. These activities benefited atotal of 533 farmers, including 407 women.Despite a volatile economy which affectedstrongly the prices for animal food while the cost of pigs remained very low in the last few years,most of our beneficiaries were satisfied, especially 67 percent of them obtained good results.With the aim of supporting this project, NH set-up a pig bank to facilitate peoples activity.Moreover, they were also able to use pig manure to increase their yield of rice and vegetables.

    Regarding chicken rearing, our staff conducted 29 trainings in different villages. For these activities

    the attendance rate was higher than pig rearing. We counted with a total of 630 farmers and mostof them are women. 60 percent of the attendants have obtained, so far, positive results while therest are still having just average results due to their economic constraints. It is worthy to underline thatmost of our beneficiaries are having hard time to feed their animals, either pigs or chickens, because

    simply they do not have money enough for it. At the same time we try to restrain our intervention toencourage them to be self-sufficient as much as possible.

    In order to inculcate agriculture skills at an early age, we have also organized 9 trainings in 4different schools, reaching a total of 986 students. The school principals welcomed openly thisinitiative and manifested their support. In some schools nurseries were organized for gardening. Thenatural link between training and parents activities ensures the durability of skills transmissionamong students.

    Mobile Training Center for Agriculture Development (MTCAD)

    Our Mobile Training Center for Agriculture Development, a new project conceived as an improvedcontinuation of the ADFS project, has started at the beginning of 2008.The particularity of this new approach lies on the fact that agriculture training moves from place to

    place according to the villagers formal request. The pilot program of MTCAD has shown excellentresults because training is not only given in their place, but about what they are interested in, andthat makes the difference.

    The total number of trainings achieved was 40in 38 different villages from 7 communes. Mostof the beneficiaries matched our povertycriteria. Thus we reached 852 (62% werefemale) direct beneficiaries who haveenhanced their farming skills.

    The most requested topic was poultry rearing(58% from the total number of beneficiaries)followed by pig rearing.The level of knowledge acquisition was clearlypositive between before and after thetrainings (good understanding about farmingskills after training 61% compared to 11%before the activity).

    So far the impact of this project is full of hope, a proof of that is the number of requests for newtrainings we have received not only from the same 38 villages we have already worked in but alsofrom other villages that were not part of the original plan and schedule. We are expecting to haveclear figures at the end of 2009 about quality and/or quantity of their agricultural production andits economic impact.

    Taking chances to improve life

    Eang Puthy is a good example of a mother who has struggled a lot in her life for sendingher children to school. She is 51 years old, and her husband Meas Sary, 53 years old. Theyare farmers in Svay Kory village (Boribor district) and have seven children (3 girls). Theiractivities allow them to get an income of around 8,000 riels (US$ 2.00) per day.

    Despite of this minimum revenue for a large family, Puthy has always encouraged theirchildren to study, some of them have already finished the school, but thanks to herdetermination she has found other sources of help to send her children for further studies.Puthy, requested a scholarship from New Humanity in 2004 for one of her daughters, arequest that was gladly accepted due to her situation and commitment.

    With the aim to generate more income to sustain the studies of her younger children, shejoined the training on poultry rearing, conducted by New Humanity in 2008. Currently shewas chosen to implement a small model farm with the help of our program .

    I am earning extra money from selling chickens, and with this money I can buy food and support my childrens schooling.
