Our education program includes both general education and vocational training such as agriculture, English, Khmer culture, traditional dance and music, handicraft design, dressmaking, artistic iron welding, and recreational activities such as painting and sport.

We also provide scholastic support and supervision to children between the ages of 4 and 17 years of age. We work with local partner organizations and village leaders to identify children most in need and the selected children live in individual houses with a stable caregiver to provide the feeling of a ‘family group'.
When the children reach 16 or 17, the staff
discusses with them what they would like to
do once they leave the Center. From these
discussions, we organise programs to help
them develop specific skill sets which will
provide them with a sustainable future. In
order to do this, we have recently started a
new silk laboratory and an iron workshop. |

and dressmaking produce silk products for export and for sale. Buy some
