Resilient families make for strong local communities
We know that resilient nuclear families is the best foundation for a sustainable development both within the family and outwardly in the local community. Therefore, we focus first and foremost on school and education as well as provide for self-sufficiency projects, both of which contribute to such a development. We also see basic nutrition and hygiene as important for children and young people to promote their normal development, resiliency and dignity.
We facilitate for strengthened local communities through gatherings and events in local community centers, various sustainability projects that benefit the citizens as well as support for improvements, or new construction of private stilt houses (traditional Cambodian small houses).
We strengthen and work closely with local house churches out in the local communities so that they can convey God's love in word and deed!
