Chea Doe, landmine survivor

Chea Doe is a farmer who lost a leg in a landmine accident. We met Doe while we were making a film about our work and he was subsequently taken to the Cambodia Trust rehabilitation centre in Kompong Chhnang to be fitted for his first prosthetic limb. There are an estimated 43,000 landmine survivors in Cambodia. Prosthetic limbs last 1-2 years for adults and 6 months for growing children. We need ongoing support to ensure we can continue to provide rehabilitation services for Cambodia's landmine survivors and other disadvantaged disabled people.
