KHM: Cambodia’s Homeless on the Streets of Phnom Penh

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA-FEBRUARY 6 : A Drug addict gets help by Korsang’s outreach team February 6, 2010 in Phnom Penh. The non- governmental organization offer risk reduction and health services for drug users. Impoverished Cambodia has become a popular trafficking point for narcotics, particularly methamphetamines and heroin, after neighboring Thailand toughened its stance on illegal drugs in 2002. Poverty in Cambodia is rife due to years of terrorism and civil war on the part of the Khmer Rouge and corruption within the government. While on a path to greater economic development, poverty is still widespread with 40 percent of the population living under the poverty line according to various UN agencies.
