The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany has partnered with World Vision International in Cambodia to deliver life‑saving nutrition and newborn care support to displaced families still living in safety centres across Oddar Meanchey, Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap and Preah Vihear. With a contribution of EUR 111,111.11, the project provides essential supplements and therapeutic foods for 2,500 children under five and 1,000 pregnant and lactating women, along with 200 newborn care kits for vulnerable mothers. The support builds on Germany’s earlier assistance in September 2025 and comes at a time when many families continue to face uncertainty and limited access to food and healthcare. The initiative is implemented in coordination with local authorities and health facilities to ensure effective and accountable delivery. World Vision Cambodia’s National Director, Janes I. Ginting, highlighted the ongoing hardships faced by displaced families and expressed gratitude to the German Embassy for its continued commitment. For mothers like Sreynoch, a first‑time mother living in a safety centre, the assistance brings both immediate relief and hope as families await a safe return home.

Traditional leaders across the Southern Province are collaborating with health partners to enhance the nutrition of pregnant women and safeguard the health of their babies. This comes at a time when maternal nutrition remains a concern. The 2024 Zambia Demographic and Health Survey shows that anaemia affects about one in five women of reproductive age. The survey also highlights ongoing micronutrient deficiencies among women and children, especially in rural areas. Poor nutrition during pregnancy increases the risk of illness for mothers and affects a child’s growth from the very beginning. These findings show why practical solutions and strong partnerships at the community level are needed.
