Sophea* has been a foster mom for 9 years. She’s now providing temporary care for Dara*, one of the thousands of children in Cambodia in need of a loving home. Dara was abandoned at birth at hospital. His case is sadly not an exception.

THE FACTS

Poverty, marital instability or social stigma cause separation of children from their families. These children are often abandoned by their parents because they feel helpless and unable to provide them with the necessary care. Many of these children are placed in orphanages or similar institutions despite many years of research proving that growing up in institutions is harmful for the well-being and development of children.
Children in orphanages lack care, affection, are often neglected and sometimes even abused. 

At Friends, we value family and truly believe that’s where children belong.

Instead of placing abandoned children in orphanages, we find temporary loving families for them and work on long term solutions to reunite them with their birth parents.

We currently have 88 children in temporary Cambodian foster families and more than ever, we need monthly support to keep running this essential program, to make sure children grow up in a safe and nurturing family. On average, it costs us $150 per month for a child to be taken care of by a loving family. It includes material, food as well as a stipend for the family.

You can help us make a difference!
