With your support, we provide safe housing, health care and education to many Cambodian girls from under-resourced rural communities.
Since 2005, Cambodian Kids Can has worked to provide girls from Prey Veng, Cambodia with a safe and nurturing home (Mekhala House), health care and educational assistance to complete Secondary School. We then offer continued support if they wish to pursue their dreams at university through our University Sponsorship program.
Our Impact
In Cambodia, less than half of the population finish high school and a staggering 36% of children are forced out of school and into work. Girls are most at risk. Since 2005, Cambodian Kids Can has been working tirelessly to change these statistics. To date, we have provided over 85 girls from under-resourced rural communities with a supportive home environment and access to formal education and personal development programs. 8 of these girls have successfully completed Year 12 and are pursuing tertiary studies. 20 have already graduated from university and 2 have completed vocational training.
