In the fight against poverty and crime in Cambodia, a grassroots non-government organisation has taken up a very colourful approach.
With brushes, pots of paint and canvasses big and small, hundreds of children are literally painting against poverty. The children's artistic creations are being exhibited around Australia.

ESTHER HAN: For the children of a small port city in Cambodia, the idea of having their art displayed on the walls of hip art galleries around Australia may seem a bit far-fetched.
But that's the reality for more than a hundred children who are part of the Cambodian Children's Painting Project, which is based in Sihanoukville.
It's launched the paintings roadshow to boost awareness and funds.
Felix Brooks-Church is the Project's director.
