Books for Asia - Cambodia

The Books for Asia program in Cambodia operated from 1955 to 1966, and resumed distribution in Cambodia in 1993. Since then, Books for Asia has annually distributed approximately 50,000 books to various Cambodian universities, schools, non-government organizations (NGOs), ministries, and government institutions open to the public. Since its inception in Cambodia, the Books for Asia program has distributed more than 600,000 books and journals. In the mid and late 1980s, the Books for Asia program provided books for Cambodian refugees in Site II (Aranyaprathet) and other camps on the Cambodian-Thai border. These book donations were especially important to the educational institutions established in the camps to serve the education needs of Cambodian refugees. In a country where communities were devastated during the Khmer Rouge period and most educational resources were destroyed, books donated by The Asia Foundation have served as a valued resource for readers and their research.
