Second Week of Lent
(School week beginning 9th March)
This week through Project Compassion we learn about Phany (pronounced Parn-ee).
Struggling to earn a living as a farmer in Cambodia, Phany was forced to leave her daughter behind in the village to take up construction work in the city.
Thankfully, through a Caritas funded program, Phany learnt new farming techniques which enabled her to get a better yield from her vegetable crops and to conserve water in her drought-stricken region. Phany’s community also took part in training in health, nutrition, hygiene and disaster preparedness, arming them with better strategies to cope with environmental changes. Watch a short film about Phany’s story.

In Cambodia, 1 in 8 people live below the poverty line.*
