A Post Genocide CommunityÂ

For two decades, Cambodia was ravaged by genocide and civil war at the hands of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Roughly two million people—a quarter of the population—were murdered, especially the educated class.

Today, the children we serve face issues ranging from malnutrition, to child trafficking, exploitation and abuse. By providing dedicated social workers and meaningful education, you can give these children the opportunity reach their full potential.
