Now called World Assistance for Cambodia and Japan Relief for Cambodia, American Assistance for Cambodia is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to providing opportunities for youth and the rural poor in Cambodia through education, rural development, technology, and health. The organization was founded by Bernard Krisher (1931-2019), a Holocaust survivor who worked as a journalist and covered Cambodia. The country was completely destroyed by the Khmer Rouge regime. Once the regime was toppled, Krisher decided to help Cambodians recover and rebuild their country. One aspect of the organization is the Rural School Project. At the time of the book’s publication, a donor could establish a school in rural Cambodia for $13,000, and the donation was matched by funds from the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. This program is still around today.
