We Need Your Help!

The Cambodian Children's Advocacy Foundation is a non-profit organization that receives no money from governments. We rely entirely on donations from people around the world.

We are currently conducting fundraising to support ongoing projects operating costs include pre-school activities, nutrition, basic healthcare and sanitation for rural Cambodian children.


For our immediate need now is we are requesting all readers to support the salary of our 6 teachers. Because by the beginning of July, one of our funding partners will stop their support us. This mean that 6 pre-schools will be closed and at least 100 students will not be able to join their education anymore. So this is why we need your help! For individual donor, you can support one school or more just to let me (CEO Channarith) know. Budget salary for one teacher per month is US$45.00.  For the US, please contact our Chair of BoD for your donation and tax deductible letter.

Each year, we serve 500 children. We need US$33,668.00 to cover the general pre-school activities, and US$24,330.00 for support nutrition, sanitation and physical check ups for these children.

For your contribution, please click on the DONATION FORM. We are immensely grateful for any contribution you might be able to give. Thank you!
