About Cambodia Family Support

The people in Cambodia's northwest are desperately trying to rebuild their community. The brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge left many scars, including serious poverty. Poor families are vulnerable to the threat of human trafficking across the nearby Thai border.

Our Projects

Donations to Cambodia Family Support help to fund projects aimed at sustaining families and communities for the long term.

Literacy
Literacy
In villages where there are no schools or access to schools, we help set up education centres in cooperation with the Department of Education. Children are taught basic literacy and numeracy.
Community Action
Community Action
We train and work with community leaders and local government officials. We help villagers to form self-help groups (community action groups). This leads to more sustainable development.
Water & Sanitation
Water & Sanitation
We help villagers install pit latrines, dig wells and ponds, install simple pumps, provide rainwater jugs and drinking water filters. This leads to improvements in health and well-being.
Income Generation

We help families start a small family business so they can support themselves and allow their children to attend school. We give them a small amount of capital to get started.
Education
Education
CFS works in schools with teachers and students to raise awareness about domestic violence, safe migration, mental and physical health, good sanitation and hygiene.
Networks
Networks
We work with community networks, including local government, to support victims of human trafficking and domestic violence. Most often these are children and women.
