JMAS receives $676,019 to JMAS for its comprehensive program, Mechanical Demining in Kampong Thom, and World Vision Japan gets $455,528 to help improve child and maternal health in Takeo province.
Mr Hidehisa said, “JMAS will pass its techniques on to the Cambodian Mine Action Centre; and World Vision Japan will improve rural clean water supply systems, and hygiene at health centres.
