Begging is not widespread in Cambodia and visitors are requested not to encourage development of this practice by giving money or sweets to children. Think twice before buying anything from children on the street, beaches or at temples and refrain from giving money to begging children or parents with infants. It keeps them on the street and places them at risk. If you want to help, don’t give directly to children. Instead find and support local charity organizations that help these children have a better future.
