ADVENTIST DEVELOPMENT AND RELIEF AGENCY

(ADRA)

 

I.                   Introduction

 

1.      Background: ADRA is the multi-sectoral development and relief arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Christian Church. ADRA began operations in Cambodia in the early 1970s; work ceased in the late 1970s. A country office was established in 1991.

 

2. Objectives: ADRA seeks to enhance the quality of life and well-being of communities and citizens in developing countries through developmental, self-help activities. It provides aid without reference to race, gender, political, or religious affiliation.

 

3. Counterparts/Partners: Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Kompong Thom Department of Hydrology, Santuk District Hospital (Kompong Thom).

 

4. Activities: Well-digging and latrine sanitation programs for Internally Displaced Persons. Integrated primary health care program (Santuk District Hospital). Training and coordination with Ministry of Health.

 

5.     Location: Kompong Thom, Battambang.

 

 

II.                The Activities Related to Mekong

 

1. Current Activities: The working activities on downstream site planned for the Stung Chinit dam.

 

2. Future Activities: ADRA will monitor the development of the Stung Chinit dam because its shallow, hand-dug wells rely on underground streams rather than groundwater and upstream development (or downstream development on the Mekong mainstream) may affect these wells.
