Reth and his family
Born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Reth and his family were forced to leave by the Khmer Rouge in 1975. In 1982, as a resistance soldier on a mission near the Thai-Cambodian border, Reth stepped on a landmine. In 1993 he moved back to Cambodia. Back home, Reth started making wheelchairs as a way to help landmine survivors and support himself and his family.
