Funded by: Matching & Individual Donations

It is the belief of the Orphanage Center Project that the Cambodia children's quality of life will be greatly enhanced, fostered, and maintained through the participation in the Orphanage Project made possible by matching donors and individual donations. The orphan children will be empowered to learn, to grow, and to function at their highest level of physical, mental, and social well-being. At the Orphanage Center, the children will be provided with many opportunities in education, health care, and computer technology. The Orphanage Center Project team wants to create an environment conductive for interaction and socialization, personal satisfaction, spirit growth, and recognition. The Orphanage Center facility will include involvement of staff, family, friends, and volunteers.

Dear Mory,

It's my pleasure to make this donation offer to your orphanage project. This orphanage project has inspired me, which is just a great way to help others in need, especially, the children in Cambodia who have such a great need. I wish you well in your continuing efforts. Also, I hope that my donation offer will help inspire others to contribute to such a worthy endeavor.

Land For the Orphanage Center Project

I purchased the land pictured below three years ago with my savings because it is my vision to help Cambodian children in need. When I leave this earth I want the children to have a place to call home. With your generous donations and God's blessing we can fulfill the dream of making 'The Orphanage Center Project' a reality.

The lot is 28 by 116 meters. The back of the lot connects to a small creek where water flows all year-round.

The little home on the property was built for the people I have asked to watch and guard the land. I am thankful to my cousin and his family for living there and being the caretakers.

The lot is connected to the major highway #4. It's leads to Kompong Soum Province.

The Landfill is a Home for Many Orphans

THE DUMP SITE CAMPUS IN PHNOM PENH

This is a picture of the Phnom Penh dump site, a place many Cambodian orphans call home. This is how they live and making for a living. We visited the dump site on the second day of our Ubuntu journey. We shed many tears as we saw teens and children go through the rotting trash hoping to find a food to eat and soda cans, water bottles, plastic bags, and something metal to sell to make enough money to live for a day. Orphan children in Cambodia are vulnerable to many diseases such as malaria, aids, and tuberculosis.

The blue & red roofs you see in the background are their homes. They live there & breathe the smell of rotting trash every day. Can you imagine living like that?

Most orphan children are very poor in education, physical & mental health due to malnutrition and low spirit & well-being. Can we imagine? Orphan children like these from all over Cambodia have to live and face a world full of hardships we cannot imagine.
