Serving Orphans In
Cambodia
Why We Serve in Cambodia
Nearly 600,000 children have been orphaned due to AIDS, malnutrition, or poverty.
Cambodian children face a number of ongoing challenges. Child trafficking, child labor, and significant malnutrition are high on the list. Specifically, as many as 40% of children in Cambodia under age 5 are malnourished. Because many families cannot care for their children, they end up releasing them to live on the streets.

What We Strive to Provide to Every Child We Serve
Areas of Ministry in Cambodia
Discipleship
Discipleship is a part of our daily routines in each of our homes. Each morning, the children rise before school to read the Bible, pray, and worship. We end each day with corporate Bible study and worship, led by student leaders and staff members. Throughout the week, our doors are open to children from local communities to take part in special classes and events focused on spiritual development.
Education
Our education goals are threefold. First, we seek to ensure children have the reading and writing skills necessary to enter government schools. Second, we seek to provide the necessary resources, including uniforms, books, and supplies, to children who need them. Finally, we offer practical support and enrichment through our learning centers. We provide homework help and specialized computer, English and music classes.
Sustainable Business
We have developed business opportunities, such as a small restaurant, music school, and a cell phone repair shop for two reasons. First, formal education is not a practical option for some of the older students we meet in local communities and villages. Second, many university graduates still have trouble finding steady income. We continue to explore the possibility of adding more businesses in the future, with a particular focus on agriculture.
