10 Best Child Sponsorship Programs In Cambodia

However, choosing to sponsor a child’s food, schooling, and overall well-being, especially a child you’ve never met, can seem like a daunting prospect. Whether the costs seem too high, you are unsure if you really want to make a difference, or you are just skeptical of the whole concept before vetoing the idea, consider the many compelling reasons why child sponsorship is very important in the development of communities.

Through sponsorship, you will be matched to a Cambodian child in need. Your financial support will go towards the cost of food, health care, education and attentive oversight by our team.

1.Feeding Dreams Cambodia

Feeding Dreams Cambodia is a non-profit, non-political, non-religious, non-governmental, “grass roots” organization which focuses on holistic, sustainable development within the local community. Kerry Huntly, Blaed Huntly, and Arlene Gormley founders and Directors of Feeding Dreams Cambodia, established this non-government organization in 2012 to assist hundreds of starving children and their families from the Sala-Kamreuk commune.

Feeding Dreams is registered with the Cambodian Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Tourism, and the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training. Upon completion of our courses, students receive nationally recognized certificates of accreditation from supporting Ministries and Departments.

What we do:

Through the strategic implementation of our seven established programs, we deliver effective and positive outcomes.

Education Program (800 students)

Community Support (3,000 Indirect Beneficiaries )

School Meals (600 served daily)

Vocational Training & Job placement (60 underprivileged youth annually)

Y.E.S Football Academy (200 disadvantaged teenagers enrolled)

I.T Program (200 yearly)

Kindergarten (60 kids daily)

Feeding Dreams remains strongly focused on the care and protection of children. We work in collaboration with Human Rights Organisations and Local Government Authorities and play an active role in prevention and responding to violence against children.

Feeding Dreams receives NO government funding and is completely reliant on private donations to fund our programs and support the families in the Sala-Kamreuk commune.

3. ChildFund International

Bordered by Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand, Cambodia struggled through decades of civil war and occupation. At least 1.5 million Cambodians died from execution, starvation and other hardships during the Khmer Rouge regime under dictator Pol Pot in the 1970s, followed by Vietnamese occupation and 13 years of civil war. Since 2003, Cambodia’s political processes have been peaceful, but the country still faces significant challenges, including poor access to education, lack of safe water and sanitation, and high rates of infectious disease. ChildFund has served children in Cambodia since 2007. Help make a difference and sponsor a child in Cambodia today.

4. Cambodian Children's Fund

Cambodian Children’s Fund transforms the country’s most impoverished kids into tomorrow’s leaders, by delivering education, family support and community development programs into the heart of Cambodia’s most impoverished communities.

Since 2004, we’ve been working with children and families living in crippling poverty in the former dump community of Steung Meanchey. We believe that with the right education and support, one child can lift their family out of poverty. Today there are more than 2,000 students working towards a better future in our award-winning education program.

5. Plan International In Cambodia

We have been working in partnership with local communities in Cambodia since 2002, helping children to access their rights to education, health, and protection.

CHALLENGES

Poverty, disease and a lack of knowledge mean malnutrition is a major problem in Cambodia - most children show some signs of malnourishment and 45% have experienced stunted growth.

More than one in 12 children die before their fifth birthday.

Many people lack access to safe drinking water or hygienic sanitation.

Schools are poorly equipped and teachers inadequately trained.

Abuse and exploitation of children are widespread.

7. Sos Children’s Villages Uk

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William, and Kate, joined a children’s birthday party, read to children during story-time and played an impromptu game of cricket when they visited the SOS Children’s Village community in Lahore, Pakistan during their state visit to the country.

The Duke entertained the children with finger puppets, and the Duchess thrilled the children by speaking in Urdu as she said happy birthday to three of the children - 12-year-old Iman, six-year-old Ibrahim, and eight-year-old Daniyal.

8. Sustainable Cambodia

Sustainable Cambodia utilizes a participatory development model: The village families create a Village Development Committee, which works with our staff to prioritize the projects that will have the most impact on the village. Nothing is "given" to the villagers. The villagers must commit their time and labor to make the project happen, while Sustainable Cambodia typically provides the training and nearly all the early financing for the projects. The amount of assistance is slowly reduced after a three-year period, as the villagers become more and more self-reliant. It takes four to five years, but eventually, the quality of life in the village is dramatically improved, and the villagers have the self-created resources to continue to improve it.

The projects which each Village Development Committee chooses to implement are unique to each village, but often they include water wells, community ponds, rainwater harvesting, irrigation, gardens, alternative agriculture, a village school, a pre-school, vocational training, micro-loans and micro-business, and village healthcare.

10. Sunshine CAMBODIA

In Cambodia, the sale of a child - for commercial sexual exploitation of cheap labor - can become a serious consideration for a family living in extreme poverty. Sunshine Cambodia works to prevent this outcome amongst struggling, marginalized families in southern Phnom Penh.

More positively, we seek to create better solutions for the whole family, using a 'hand-up' rather than 'hand-out' approach.

We are passionate about protecting, nurturing and empowering Sunshine children - through education and working with the whole family to achieve financial independence. We walk beside the children and families as they build brighter futures for themselves.

11. World Vision

National elections in mid-2018 kept the ruling party in power. Despite a high voter turnout, many international governments refused to recognize the election’s validity because of potential corruption.

The country is in the middle of a review by the international community because of concerns that human rights and freedoms, especially in labor, aren’t being upheld. Positively, Cambodia’s higher education sector is attempting improvements like better access to and the quality of higher education. Overall, Cambodia is experiencing some instability. Concerns including malnourishment, poverty, lack of education, and child protection remain throughout the country for the most vulnerable families.
