Operations Enfants de Battambang “OEB” established on 1st March 1996, registered with Ministry of Interior N. 198 sjn, dated 14 March 1997. Its aims focusing on severity of poor children whose parent wounded by landmines or children whose parents living with HIV/AIDS hospitalized in referral hospital of Battambang province.
With strong commitment to serve social work with striking outcome from various areas in Cambodia, OEB has been accepted by paper no 1564 sjn on 5 December 2006 to be “Operations Enfants du Cambodge” (OEC) by Ministry of Interior of Kingdom of Cambodia.
Prior establishment of Operations Enfants de Battambang, Mrs. Davy Tith, the founder, has been a teacher of Primary School group Scholar North of Battambang, Vice-director of District Office of Education of Serei Sophorn district in1980, French interpreter of UNHCR staff, Administrator of Partage organization. with these occasion Mrs. Davy met several UN staff, guests, Journalist, visitors and sharing their points of views of situation around Cambodia as well as worldwide. Since then, “ I learnt new things seeking suitable activities to survive the life of the poor people who are in need, enable them to tackle with the new trend”. Thus, the first activity is to support food to the poor children sickness who got treatment at the Battambang provincial hospital. Then, the activities of helping the poor children in landmine areas and some short projects occur up to the present time. With the heartfelt of suffering and tragedy of the poor people who are struggling to survivor after the civil war. The major concerned is the transition of influx of landless people from the refugee camps who are living underprivileged situation and harmful circumstances. With my talent in education and my heart compassionate with poor children, I am willing to scarify my time to develop the Cambodian Country with the sector of education from now on.
