Cambodia has made great progress over the past decade, enjoying steady economic growth rates and significant improvements in quality of life; however, challenges remain particularly in democratization and the protectionof human rights. The U.S. works with Cambodia to build a framework for lasting democracy and to improve the lives of all its citizens. The U.S. is working to improve rural livelihoods and health services, conserve natural resources, and protect the rights of all Cambodia’s citizens.
Lom, a 35 year old woman with HIV/AIDS, sells watermelons and mangos in Tanuk village in western Cambodia. Her husband died three years ago, leaving her as the sole breadwinner for her daughter, but because of her health condition, she was unable to make a living -- nobody would buy the produce she grew. Since a USAID-sponsored HIV/AIDS awareness program visited her village, business has improved as aUSAID-sponsored project is helping to reduce HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination.
