Covid19 pandemic affected and continue to affect people today even though the level of severity and death are reduced because of vaccination. The effect on poor families lasts much longer than those who can afford proper shelters and regular incomes. Those poor families with poor resilient the loss of incomes and jobs pushed those families to a greater dept of poverty and unsolvable shark loan. Children in these families are the most affected victims, many could not go to school because of the school and Covid 19 restrictions and so the increase of illiteracy among these children climbed up higher, many force to work to get incomes for their families by selling their labors or selling some snacks at night where people gather and drink alcohol which put these children to a greater risk of being physically and sexually abused by the drunk people. A lot of these do not have proper food diet and suffer from malnutrition affecting their physical, psychological and intellectual growth. With the support from GlobalGiving and other personal donation, PBO's were able to provide some small package nutrition foods for more than 200 children (107 girls) in a poor village in Prek Angchagn village, Prek Angchagn commune, Prek Phnow district, Phnom Penh City. Many of these children were forced evicted with their families from middle of the Phnom Penh city and rubbish dump site. The small food package includes 1) Tooth paste and brush and soap 2) Milk and other nutrition cookies 3) books and pencils 4) Deep fried chicken.
