Cambodia

An appeal following Typhoon Ketsana, which also ravaged the Philippines and Vietnam in September 2009, funded relief and rehabilitation work. The typhoon caused extensive damage to crops and means of livelihood for many Cambodians.  ACT provided food, other household goods and temporary shelter.  Longer-term recovery and rehabilitation projects included food security and livelihood, reconstruction, disaster preparedness and risk reduction.
