After seeing malnutrition among children of less than 14-year of age, a food kitchen for children was recently opened in Phnom Penh where children can come in to eat for free. The food kitchen is reserved for street children, children who scavenge in the street, as well as other poor children who do not receive sufficient nutrition on a daily basis.

Since 2003, the Kien Svay Buddhist Center located in Kandal province, makes available 2.5-hectare of its land for the use by the Street Children Assistance and Development Program (SCADP) to grow rice for education purposes.
Last week, more than 100 youths joined in to harvest rice surrounding the pagoda. “Agriculture remains the soul of our country, and it assures the solidarity between the communities. We want the city youths to understand how rice is grown, and this rice is used to feed our children,” Yim Sokhary, director of SCADP, said. Each year, seven to eight tons of rice are harvested here and they allow to feed half the need of 600 children cared for by the SCADP.
SCADP was formed in 1992, and it receives funding from the UK. The organization provides education to street children in seven provinces in Cambodia. However, the needs faced by the SCADP still remain inadequate in front of the major problems that need to be solved in Cambodia.
