Grab Cambodia Partners with World Vision to Strengthen Healthcare Access and Nutrition Support for Families in Preah Vihear
PREAH VIHEAR, Cambodia March 18, 2026- Following its recent commitment to emergency relief, Grab Cambodia is now actively deploying a massive wave of food and healthcare supplies to thousands of displaced families in Preah Vihear. The USD 120,000 Grab-funded initiative, implemented by World Vision, has moved into a critical delivery phase to address the prolonged hardship, support health services and provide targeted nutrition and non-food item (NFI) assistance for vulnerable women and children in affected communities.
To strengthen this life-saving response, World Vision—in partnership with main donor Grab Cambodia—have been delivering mobile health outreach and the distributed of food assistance across affected areas. These efforts aim to contribute to prevention of malnutrition, maintain maternal health services, and ensure that children continue receiving timely care.
“Access to quality healthcare is fundamental to the well-being of every community, particularly for the most vulnerable groups such as children and pregnant and lactating women, especially during challenging times,” said Janes Imanuel Ginting, National Director of World Vision Cambodia.”World Vision Cambodia sincerely appreciates the partnership and generous contribution of Grab Cambodia and the Provincial Health Office in supporting efforts to strengthen access to and the quality of essential health services in Preah Vihear Province. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to improving the health and well-being of families and communities.”
As part of this collaboration, 850 families received food assistance, and 1,200 children and 474 pregnant and lactating women have received nutritious food across safety camps in Preah Vihear. Health workers have been conducting community outreach, monitoring vulnerable groups, and delivering maternal and child health services.
Additionally, to improve health services reaching people living in the remote areas and displacement sites, Grab Cambodia contributed motorbikes to the Provincial Health Department and local health centers. This support allows health staff to travel long distances on challenging roads to conduct home visits, emergency follow-ups, and nutrition monitoring more efficiently.
“In Preah Vihear, our teams often travel hours to reach a single household. Having reliable transportation allows us to respond faster and more effectively,” said H.E Dr Kuong Lo, advisor to the Ministry of Health and director of the Preah Vihear Provincial Health department the Provincial Health Department Director. “It is a critical boost to our ability to serve displaced families with dignity and care.”
“At Grab, we are committed to standing with communities during times of difficulty,” said Kang Sovannarot (Mike), Country Head, Expansion Region (Cambodia & Myanmar). “Working with World Vision enables us to contribute meaningfully to emergency efforts and help ensure that families in need receive timely support.”
This intervention contributes to World Vision’s wider humanitarian response, which is currently supporting more than 145,000 people affected by the border conflict. As families begin transitioning toward early recovery, World Vision continues to prioritize urgent health and nutrition needs—ensuring assistance reaches those who need it most, when they need it most.
