The Sangkheum Center for Children provides education, training, scholastic
support and care to children between the ages of 4 and 17. Since 2001, the
Sangkheum Center for Children has given hope to over 260 orphaned, abused or
neglected children and provided education and vocational training to many more
who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to school.
Our Approach is simple, we work with local partner organizations and village
leaders to identify children most in need and the selected children live in
individual houses with a stable ‘caregiver’ who act as an educator and mentor
providing a feeling of a family group.
Our Focus is on prevention and on eliminating social and economic factors which
might lead to life of abandonment and destitution. Where possible, we do this by
encouraging children to live with their families, in their village of origin and
provide social adaptation by offering education, vocational training, social
relations and medical assistance.
Our Help doesn’t stop here! Once the children reach a specific age they are
given the opportunity to discuss what they would like to do once they leave the
Center and are helped to develop a specific skill set which will provide them
with a sustainable future. |
