Community Health Development Program (CHDP)

We focus on meeting people’s health needs.

YWAM began ministering in the Siempang District in 1993 with the Health Centre (HC) and our successes led us to implement the Community Health Development Program (CHDP) in 2000 to address the wider issues related to under-development and ill-health.

Health assistance for more than 20,000 people since we began.

We have directly improved the health of far more than 20,000 people since 1991. We have grown rapidly from assisting in 3 villages to now over 20 villages. Even though 21 of 28 villages in our area have formally joined our program we are always ready and willing to assist any of the remaining villages.

Community Health Development Program

Formal inclusion in the CHDP means that our Khmer Trainers help communities elect people to onto the Village Development Committee (VDC)  and then train them to design, plan, and implement their own development projects (VDCs) or to promote health through education and modeling of good health practices.

Here is a sample of the kinds of improvements that we have implemented at the request of and with the involvement of the communities. YWAM promotes the ownership of development rather than taking a top-down proscriptive approach to development.
