Cambodia is a country recovering form a generation of warfare and violence including almost four years of rule by the genocidal Khmer Rouge. Abolishing all education, healthcare and currency, they executed all education people killing almost two million in total.

Between 1975 and 1979, the country has been deeply wounded. During those few years, most of their educated and leading people were killed which has had a huge impact on the entire society.

Since that time, Cambodia has slowly recovered, developed, and began to rise again. There are still many needs due to widespread poverty but we believe that God wants to bring hope back to the nation.
