35,000 Cambodian Children in Care

The Cambodian Ministry of Social Affairs has found that 35,374 children and young people are living in orphanages and other residential care institutions , many of them unregistered or never inspected . The Ministry discovered that , of children in care , 925 had a disability , 576 had HIV / AIDS , 270 had received “ detoxification services ” for addictive substances , and 252 were victims of child trafficking . One out of every 350 children under 18 lives in an orphanage , but almost 80 % of adolescents in orphanages have a living mother or father . The Minister of Social Affairs suggested that ‘ parents ’ living conditions are poor , so parents send them to centres hoping their children could have a better education rather than stay with them .’
CCC ’ s Children of Cambodia project supports a group of 15 children whose parents cannot afford to feed them adequately . With our assistance , these children receive a cooked lunch each day and the pastor who supports them and their families ensures that they attend school and keep out of the clutches of traffickers , pimps and drug dealers .
