Life in all its fullness
WHAT WE DO
Our core sectors cannot be achieved in isolation, addressing issues of poverty requires a multi-faceted approach. We work in a cross-section of areas to ensure communities benefit from change, in the long term. We combine; child protection, economic development, education and health and nutrition for lasting impact.
CHILD PROTECTION
PROTECTING CHILDREN’S SAFETY AND FREEDOM
EDUCATION
EQUIPPING CHILDREN WITH KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is power. Equipping children with the knowledge they need to thrive. We’re working to increase teaching quality and student’s overall success in learning. We do this by addressing issues related to parental engagement to their child’s education, access to learning resources and appropriate school facilities and teacher training.
NUTRITION
ALL CHILDREN DESERVE TO BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY
HOW WE WORK
We use a holistic approach to development ensuring we tackle root causes to lift children, their families and community out of poverty.
We do this in partnership with local stakeholders in order for children to live life in all its fullness.
WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES
We take a holistic approach to child well-being, recognizing its connection to a safe home, healthy environment, and supportive community. By working closely with communities, we establish priorities, address the root causes of poverty, and invest in long-term development (5-15 years). Our goal is to build self-sustaining communities through trust, mindset shifts, skills training, and capacity-building.
WATER
WATER IS AN ESSENTIAL LIFE SOURCE
YOUTH
YOUTH DRIVE DEVELOPMENT THROUGH SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE
Youth are a driving force for development. We encourage youth to participate in programs to build their skills and confidence so they can change their world by making the communities better places to live. Young people face many challenges which prevent them from reaching their potential. We provide opportunities to equip and empower youth to create a positive future for themselves and the people around them. We ensure young people are included in decision making at a local level and train them in life skills to prepare them for the future. We believe youth are valuable agents of social change and work to support them.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SECURE LIVELIHOODS IMPROVE CHILDREN’S NUTRITION AND EDUCATION
Children eat better food and attend school regularly when their family’s livelihood is more secure and resilient. That’s why we aim to empower a sense of hope for a better future by promoting food stability. Over 60 years of experience globally has taught us that the best way to help children is to bring about change in their communities. Children thrive in environments which are supportive to their growth. That’s why we invest in promoting equality, inclusiveness, and sustainable economic growth, so together we can help end extreme poverty and allow at-risk children to reach their full potential.
DISASTER RESPONSE
WHEN DISASTER STRIKES, WE RESPOND
Our Disaster Management Unit comprises of technical staff coordinating disaster risk reduction and response through capacity building, strategy and programming. According to The World Risk Report Cambodia is the 8th most at risk countries for natural disasters and ranked 15th most exposed. Cambodia is susceptible to flooding, storms, and drought, that’s why we’re working with 181 schools in 46 communes to reduce the effects of disasters and equip communities with the tools to respond to disasters.
FAITH AND DEVELOPMENT
EVERYONE DESERVES A SAFE, HEALTHY, AND MEANINGFUL LIFE
We collaborate with people who share our values towards children: compassion, love, and mercy. Believing that God works through all people, we work with those who are like-minded from all faith backgrounds to reach the most vulnerable children in the most dangerous places.
