Impact in 2015

Who Will Children's Community

Children have been living in this community since August 1, 2009. The children of Who Will are "economic orphans."  Some have lost one or both parents, some have been pulled out of dangerous situations. The management of Who Will has more than 20 years experience in Cambodia, and the project is well run and well organized. Some of the children of Who Will are now graduating from high school - funding is needed to support further university and vocational education for these children. More about Who Will.
