Church Orphanage Impact in Cambodia

ICM’s Cambodia partner shares the impact of the ICM-partnered church orphanages (currently 105 built or under construction), giving thanks this holiday season:

“We don’t have institutions, we run homes. The widows and staff that operate our facilities do not punch time clocks; they are family that live with the children. The kids literally grow up in the church with a maximum of 40 brothers and sisters. The pastor becomes the surrogate father, he leads daily devotions and lets them know that they are the hope of their nation, they can change Cambodia. The children are loved by people who have suffered loss and understand their pain. Each child is assigned tasks to help support the family. Our kids attend the public schools but, in the home they learn life skills as well as cultural, technical, and English training. They are kept in a healthy, safe, loving, Christian family environment, but not spoiled so that they are unable to return to any Cambodian village and help change their nation. They thrive with 20 to 40 brothers and sisters that love and care for them.”
