Life and Hope Association (LHA) is a Cambodian non-profit, non-governmental and non-political organization run by Young Monks of Wat Damnak(wat=temple). They work with several active villages in and surrounding the Siem Reap and Bakong District, with aim to alleviate poverty/difficulty of poor families, especially Cambodian Children by supporting them with basic needs such as foods, clothing, school supplies, health services, education, accommodation, etc.
I visited them during my stays in SiemReap and had some understanding of how they run the few organisation under the LHA umbrella to help the children,youth and HIV victims. Please pay them a visit when you go Cambodia or alternatively you can also support them by making donation to their fund. Please visit their official website at http://www.watdamnak.org/lha/
