Our History

In 2001 the Sangkheum Center for Children was established as a project with the main objective of preventing the increase of street children in Siem Reap.

The focus was set on prevention and on eliminating social and economic factors which might lead to life of abandonment and destitution. We started working with local partner organizations and village leaders to identify children most in need and evaluate how we could best support the child. A comprehensive program was created, not only to support the resident children, but also the children within the community through education, training, social and medical support.
