Friends Without A Border (FWAB) was founded by New York-based photographer Kenro Izu in 1996 to provide urgently needed high quality and compassionate medical care to children in Southeast Asia. In 1999, Friends Without A Border opened Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia, where more than 1.3 million patients have been treated. Lao Friends Hospital for Children, opened in February 2015 with outpatient services, is growing to become the first full-service hospital in northern Laos where widespread poverty, poor public infrastructure, and highly mountainous terrain have created significant barriers to accessing health care. FWAB is also dedicated to providing continuing education to health care professionals throughout Southeast Asia; improving the health, nutrition, and hygiene of local communities through outreach programs and homecare; and stimulating research to develop sound healthcare practices appropriate for local conditions.
