Hope For Cambodian Children

Hope for Cambodian Children have been involved in Cambodia since 2006.

HfCC built a centre in Battambang for the children that no other agency would take.

Why are we in Cambodia? Here are some facts.

Population of Cambodia is 14 million, with an average per capita income of $1 per day.
Only 74% of the population are literate, and only 27 out 1000 children complete secondary school
59% of the population don’t have access to safe drinking water.
40% of the population are children below the age of 15, 45% of whom are under five and underweight
25% of children die before they reach 5 years old, commonly from diphtheria, malaria and diarrheal diseases.
3% incidence of HIV in the population is the highest rate in Asia.
25% of all families don’t have a male breadwinner.
40% of HIV+ women pass on HIV to their unborn or young baby.

HfCC works co-operatively with many agencies on projects to improve the lives of children and their families in Cambodia.

There are about 20 staff at our centre with over 100 children.
