Children are at the heart of our mission

Let's act together to help suffering Cambodian children! Pour un Sourire d'Enfant welcomes the poorest children in Cambodia into its programmes, sometimes they are victims of violence or are obliged to work to support their families.

We support them over time, from early childhood until they get a decent job.

Achieving our mission is possible thanks to all the donors who support our humanitarian action!
