HONG KONG, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- QNET, a global leader in direct selling and lifestyle products, proudly sponsored the recently concluded 'March for a Mine-Free World' in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This impactful event, hosted in collaboration with the Cambodian Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority (CMAA), showcased Cambodia's unwavering commitment to becoming mine-free by 2025.
The march brought together around 3,000 participants, including landmine survivors, deminers, and global stakeholders, to raise awareness and drive action on landmine clearance in Cambodia. Decades of conflict have left an estimated 4 to 6 million landmines scattered across the country, posing ongoing threats to communities. However, Cambodia's efforts have already made a significant impact, reducing annual landmine casualties from over 4,300 in 1996 to fewer than 100 in recent years.
Pushpalatha Balan, Chief of Regional Operations at QNET, shared her thoughts on this meaningful collaboration: "Landmines represent a stark challenge to Cambodia's sustainable growth and peace-building journey. 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."
QNET's involvement in Cambodia extends beyond this event, reflecting a deeper commitment to the region. Since 2005, QNET has supported several initiatives in Cambodia aimed at empowering communities and fostering sustainability. Starting with the Cambodian Red Cross, QNET has since worked with various local NGOs for education and skill development programs, as well as the promotion of health and wellness through its innovative product range.
Balan added: "Cambodia holds a special place in QNET's global efforts to drive meaningful impact. 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."
The 'March for a Mine-Free World' represents a critical milestone in Cambodia's journey toward achieving its 2025 goal of mine clearance, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between governments, organizations, and individuals.
