Danish organisation helps improve poor Khmer women's lives

The Participatory Community Development (PACODE) project has set up 124 groups with more than 2,000 members who are Khmer women in An Hiep, Thuan Hoa, Truong Khanh and Lich Hoi Thuong communes. The groups met regularly to learn about safe water, environmental hygiene and community health care under the instruction of PACODE lecturers.

They also share farming and animal raising skills as well as help each other in capital.

Soc Trang is home to 350,000 Khmer ethnic people, living mainly in Vinh Chau, My Xuyen, Long Phu and Thanh Tri districts.
