>Join us ! >I want to help now: -a scholarship: 19 € -one microcredit: 40 to 125 € -one village added for all programs: 1.000 €/year Mekong Plus is a member AERF. We support the campaign!
Development only works if everybody is involved!
Viêtnam Plus and Mekong Plus work together in Vietnam. Mekong Plus is also present in Cambodia.
We aim for communal development. 3 main keys underlie each action:
>Aiming at the poorest, who often do not even have one third of a euro per person per day >Working with a strong involvement of everyone in the community >Leading low cost and sustainable actions.
Our actions are varied: micro-credit, agricultural techniques, training of para-veterinarians, protection of the environment and forests, development of the employment and the handicraft, fair trade theater-action to promote hygiene and to fight against alcoholism, protection of the forest and plantations...
The programs cover today about 500 villages, 40 of which are in Cambodia. The direct recipients are around 170.000: children of the nursery and primary schools; women and peasants in groupings; very poor families; quilt-working women...
In Belgium and in France, teams of volunteers and sympathizers organize several events every year: cultural or sporty, with movie projections and discussions.
