Children Living In Poverty In Cambodia & Southeast Asia - Images by John Brown

Millions of children in poverty live with hunger and need education throughout Cambodia and Southeast Asia. Children living in poverty and hunger each night is a top concern of civil society and NGO's throughout the Southeast Asian Region.

It's estimated that nearly 40% of Cambodia's children go to be hungry each night in a country where nearly 5 MILLION PEOPLE exist on just $0.50 USD (50 cents) per day. Further, just 49% of Cambodian youth go on to secondary school.

The slideshow above contains photographs of children, some of who cope with these issues in their daily lives.
