ABOUT ACT NOW MISSION
Act Now Mission responds to urgent humanitarian needs in Southeast Asia, beginning with one of the region’s most overlooked crises: the years-long border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. In the past nine months alone, clashes along the disputed frontier have killed civilians, injured families, and forced the evacuation of hundreds of thousands from border-villages.
Many of these communities are now living amid destroyed homes, mined terrain, displaced schools and broken infrastructure. Act Now Mission brings immediate aid—emergency medical care, disaster-relief teams, water & food support—and will commit over the coming years to rebuilding schools, community buildings and homes lost during the conflict.
Our first mission run is focused on Cambodian border-provinces, where displaced families and damaged facilities still struggle to regain normalcy. By partnering with local leaders and mobilizing international resources, we restore safety, education and hope. You can help bring transformation—and make a stable future possible for people whose lives have been disrupted by war and displacement.
