In collaboration with Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, QNET sponsored the “March for a Mine-Free World” event in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The event gathered 3,000 participants, including landmine survivors, to further the demining efforts in Cambodia. The company estimates that 4-6 million landmines remain hidden across the country, but the Cambodia’s landmine clearance efforts have significantly reduced the number of annual fatalities in the country.
“Landmines represent a stark challenge to Cambodia’s sustainable growth and peace-building journey,” said Pushpalatha Balan, QNET Chief of Regional Operations. “At QNET, we are honored to stand alongside the Cambodian government and local communities in advocating for a safer future. Supporting the ‘March for a Mine-Free World’ is part of our enduring commitment to creating resilient and thriving societies.”
This initiative is part of a larger engagement by QNET in Cambodia, which began in 2005.
“Cambodia holds a special place in QNET’s global efforts to drive meaningful impact,” Balan said. “From funding life-saving surgeries for children with critical congenital birth defects through our work with the Child’s Dream Foundation, to supporting grassroots education initiatives and promoting sustainable health solutions through programs like ‘Water and Health,’ we remain dedicated to uplifting communities through action, advocacy, and empowerment.”
