Fellow Sufferers (Khmer Landmine Victims)



Cambodia is one of the most landmine affected countries, and with over 25000 amputees it has the highest ratio per capita in the world. The Handicap International Cambodia operates a rehabilitation center in Siem Reap for mine victims where also provides physical treatment for children whose born with congenital disorders. Besides physical and mental treatment, the center fix and makes new prosthetic limbs for mine victims whose arriving the center from all around of the country.

The people who were participating with my photography project, all were mine victims and came to the center to get a new prosthetic limb. Must of them stayed approx for a week. They never met with each other before.

All the services at the Handicap International are free. Those are living far, the center pay the transportation.
