About Cambodia

  • Cambodia is primarily a Buddhist country with less than 1% of the population being Christian.

  • The first Christian missionaries arrived in 1920.

  • Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge genocide resulted in the deaths of 1.5-3 million Cambodians.

  • After the genocide, the entire society needed to be rebuilt.

  • More than half of the population is under the age of 30, making Cambodia a very young country both in terms of age and spirituality.

  • MTW has been in Cambodia since 2007, roughly 17 years.
