The Cambodia Trust

The Cambodia Trust is a UK registered charity established in 1989. We are recognized as leaders in our field of prosthetics and orthotics. We see ourselves as a specialist 'task force', working in countries affected by conflict, disaster and poverty where the rehabilitation services for disabled people are non-existent or inadequate. We work with local partners to build those services up from scratch, training the local staff needed. Our goal is always to hand over our projects to local management / government once there is enough local capacity.

Our work aims to tackle three key challenges:

• Lack of capacity
• Lack of access to rehabilitation services
• Lack of access to education and employment

For most persons with disabilities in the developing world, finding a way out of poverty is the major concern. Equal opportunities to education, health care and employment must be available if people with disabilities are to break the cycle of poverty.
