FHI's Village Malaria Worker Program in Cambodia Since 2006, FHI has supported a malaria program in the province of Pailin in western Cambodia, an epicenter for the development and spread of drug–resistant strains of the malaria parasite. Funded by Oxford University, the program provides free diagnosis and immediate treatment with artemisinin combination therapy. FHI trains village health support groups to provide a range of malaria prevention and treatment services at no cost, thus eliminating the incentive to make fake drugs and the need for those affected to seek treatment outside their villages.

Then a local FHI partner began visiting the Chhoeurts and providing emotional support, food, school materials, and transportation money so Chhun's mother could get healthcare. Today, Chhun is happy and doing well in school.
JUNE 2009 — Six men from different backgrounds, chosen to live together for two months and compete in a variety of contests to win cash and prizes—sound familiar? The wildly popular "reality show" format is now the basis of a new show on Cambodian TV: "You're the Man!" brings together men between the ages of 18 and 35 to travel throughout the country and take part in games that will challenge their perceptions, values, and beliefs about what it means to be a "real man."
FEBRUARY 2009 — With USAID support, FHI and its partners have launched a project to improve the sexual health of men who have sex with men in Cambodia. MStyle, a peer-led, nonjudgmental social network, takes a human rights-based approach to reducing the risk of HIV and other STIs. 
MAY 2009 — Play is especially important for orphans and other vulnerable children. The Playgroup Resource Book offers guidance on how to run playgroups in villages, tailoring activities for different scenarios, ages, locations, and needs of the children.
