About Cambodia

Suosdey! When you arrive in Cambodia, you’ll be stepping into a country known for its rich cultural heritage, particularly from the Angkor period, which left stunning temple remains like Angkor Wat.

Children growing up in Cambodia are still facing the devastating effects of the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s. Children under 5 are the most vulnerable, suffering from illness and malnutrition. Most youth do not finish school, continuing generational cycles of poverty.

Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

Matthew 25:40

Yet God's Church is on the move in Cambodia

Local churches are small but mighty, leading a unified transformation across the country. By equipping youth with education and mentoring, the Church is rising with young leaders ready to change the next generation.

Watch how Sreyra’s story shows the difference a local church can make.

It was only after we partnered with Compassion that we were able to grow and reach more children. We’re reaching more vulnerable children and communities than ever before.
