KHANA is a Cambodian non-governmental organisation at the forefront of the fight against HIV/AIDS. We aspire to a Cambodia where all people, particularly those who are vulnerable, have equal access to effective, non-discriminatory HIV prevention and care and support services to improve the quality of their life. To bring this about, we collaborate with international supporters, the Cambodian government and a host of grass-roots organisations in towns and villages all over the country to develop and foster the most effective response to this devastating epidemic. This response includes prevention work, the provision of care and support, advocacy, awareness-raising and a wide variety of other initiatives and activities. Community action has always been - and will remain - the cornerstone of our work. Since our formation in 1996, we and our partner organisations have actively involved thousands of Cambodians in finding the best solutions for the difficulties they face due to HIV/AIDS. Through a steadily increasing volume of work, ever higher levels of donor funding, and our growing maturity, we are now proud to be recognised locally and nationally as the voice of the Cambodian NGO sector in HIV/AIDS work.

HIV/AIDS facts
Cambodia is amongst of the highest and stable HIV/AIDS
prevalence rate of the countries in the region. The prevalence rate amongst general population has declined from 1.2% in 2003 to 0.9% in 2006 among adults. This estimate means that almost one in 100 Cambodians aged 15 to 49 years is living with HIV infection (The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology, and STDs).

Cambodia has a very young population: over one half of the population is under 26 years old. The country is one of the least developed nations in the world with more than a third or 36% of some 14 million population (men: 51 % and women: 58%) live below the national poverty line of about 50 US cents a day (UNDP).

There has been a significant decline in incidence and prevalence among brothel-based sex workers and their clients where reported correct and consistent condom use is over 90% (UNAIDS).

Though the prevalence nationally presented as successful drive against HIV/AIDS, the high rate of prevalence amongst married women whose husbands are still the main outdoor HIV vector, while one third of new infections transmitting from mothers to children. Minority but importantly to take into account is the infections of HIV/AIDS amongst men who have sex with men (MSM) and Drug Users.

While the prevalence rate is sharply decreased because of the incidence, the People Living with HIV have been developed into AIDS patient and need care and support from Homecare Team.

There has been recognized that there is an increase and widespread of drug use amongst youths. This has become the issue of interest of the government, national and international organizations/ communities.
