HISTORY

Friends-International started working in 1994. The initial project was located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and was called ‘Friends’ or ‘Mith Samlanh’ in Cambodian.

Friends-International supported the development of this organization and its localization in 1999.

An increasing number of organizations and countries became interested in the work carried out by Friends-International, because of the success of Mith Samlanh. At the request of various international organizations (UNICEF, Inter-American Development Bank), Governments (Government of the Lao PDR) and local organizations, Friends-International branched out across South East Asia and beyond.
