Children of Asia’s programs are empowering Cambodia’s poorest girls and young women to build safe and dignified lives for themselves and their families, through education and training opportunities.
The challenge(s) that Children of Asia is addressing:
Children of Asia strives to protect and empower underprivileged girls and young women in Cambodia (who are either orphans or from extremely poor communities) by providing them with comprehensive care and educational opportunities: shelter, food, healthcare, schooling, vocational training, and university scholarships. The organization also funds the construction of schools and the maintenance of orphanages and libraries.
Children of Asia works to protect girls and young women from socio-economic dangers such as prostitution, drugs, sex trafficking, and violence, and to provide them with educational opportunities that will enable them to obtain safe employment. Through Children of Asia’s education programs, Cambodian girls and young women are obtaining crucial skills, qualifications, and the necessary self-confidence to obtain employment and build dignified lives for themselves.

- Sponsoring a girl’s education or professional training;
- Purchasing rice for a girl and her family;
- Providing crucial school supplies and stationery for a girl;
- Investing in technology courses for a girl;
- Offering a girl extra-curricular learning opportunities such as lessons in music, dance, or gardening;
- Financing repairs for Children of Asia’s orphanages and schools (which are severely affected by heavy rainfall during monsoon season).
