Mission Statement
A self-sustaining and community driven effort to improve health, food security, education, and economic development in rural Cambodia. The Trailblazer Foundation focuses on improving the lives of rural Cambodians through four program areas--health, food security, education, and economic development. TF chooses projects based on a community assessment of village needs. Through this bottom-up process, Trailblazer has helped communities support education, develop food programs, and install clean water systems that are self-sustaining and community driven.
Description
"We began with a school project, but quickly learned that water was the first priority. A person must have access to clean, potable water to improve health and sanitation. People must also have a water resource for growing their crops, livestock, and fish-the source of their food and commerce. Bad water is the cause of illness, malnutrition, and poverty. When there is good water, associated developments can occur to improve livelihoods and establish sustainable commerce."
