The list of global crises is long - the food crisis, climate crisis, war, military conflicts and a crisis of confidence in liberal-democratic countries are affecting the prospect of a better future. People in the Global South, who are struggling with numerous crises, are particularly affected. How are they faring and what glimmers of hope are visible on the horizon?
Meet people from Connexio hope and develop partner countries online. This time: Sochata Chap, Country Coordinator Cambodia

Cambodia and Thailand have been fighting over border areas again since May. Tens of thousands of people have fled. Connexio develop and the Methodist Church in Cambodia are supporting these people with aid packages.
