Through education, daily care, and long-term support, we help children grow up safe, healthy, and hopeful for the future. Our work is rooted in compassion, dignity, and a deep commitment to the communities we serve.
For many of the children we support, access to education and basic care is the difference between a life limited by poverty and one filled with possibility.
Our mission is to provide disadvantaged children and families in Cambodia with the support they need to build brighter, more secure futures.
We do this by:
Supporting access to education
Providing daily care and essential resources
Creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive
Offering long-term support that empowers families and communities
Everything we do is guided by the belief that every child deserves opportunity, stability, and hope.
For many years, Helping Hand Cambodia was supported through individual child sponsorships. While we are no longer in search for new sponsors, our work continues — and the need remains great. Today, general donations are essential to sustaining our programs and ensuring that every child in our care receives the support they need. Your donation allows us to respond flexibly, support all children fairly, and continue our mission with integrity and care.
Helping Hand Cambodia exists because of people who care. When you donate, you are not supporting just one child — you are strengthening an entire community and helping ensure that no child is left behind. Together, we are continuing work that changes lives, one day at a time.

Read MoreCambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world. About one third of the people live in poverty. Helping Hand operates in the capital Phnom Penh, in one of the poorest communities of the city. We started off with simply sponsoring individual children to enable them to go to school, and have along the way expanded our activities to support the community on a larger scale.
Our activities have expanded from sponsoring individual children's educations to an afterschool facility, in which extra tutoring is provided as well as access to computers and internet; as well as rice, food, and other crucial assistance.
Being a fairly small organization, we are able to ensure that the vast majority (more than 99% of our funding) is spent directly in Cambodia.
