Through TransformAsia, Cambodia’s children can gain hope, dignity and a vision for the future through the love of Christ.

More than 42 percent of Cambodia’s current population is under 15 years old. It has become common for families to sell young girls and boys into brothels where they are broken down and forced into the country’s pervasive sex trade. Recent surveys indicate that as many as 55,000 girls are trapped in sexual slavery in Cambodia.
The problem can seem overwhelming. And there are no easy answers.
But TransformAsia is on the front lines in Cambodia, with a range of programs designed to combat this horrific crime against the children of the country. From the feeding program, where 150 hungry children are fed each day, to the David Center Orphanage, which gives safe refuge for children whose parents and families died during the reign of the Khmer Rouge, and the New Development Center, providing skills training and vocational opportunities for girls rescued from brothels, TransformAsia is working to save the victims of sexual abuse, heal their wounds and help highly vulnerable children and their families avoid the trade.
