Trips out into the provinces are hard on vehicles and people alike

Why can’t we get the “Lions” where they are needed? Our vehicle fleet is simply not up to the task. We never trade in vehicles; we just wear them out and sell them for scrap. The roads in Cambodia have greatly improved since the early days of our ministry in 1999, but our “Junkyard on wheels” has paid a price.

We keep fixing up everything from broken frames, to blown engines, to stripped out transmissions, to bent fenders. Our average vehicle model year? 1996. It’s a good thing we train mechanics and have a steady supply of budding Grease Monkeys! Can you imagine 300,000 kilometers on these roads?
