EQUIP Cambodia’s target demographic is young Cambodian adults who, through life circumstances, often have little or no opportunity to achieve the goal of a whole and healthy future. These life circumstances can include extreme poverty, the death of one or both parents, domestic violence in the home, alcohol and other substance abuse, little or no access to educational and vocational training opportunities, poor physical, emotional and spiritual health.

For disadvantaged children and adolescents from remote villages where a healthy home environment and complete education are often not available, Equip Cambodia provides a loving and secure Christian home environment in Siem Reap. Our Field Staff assume the role of “parents” to these young people, most of whom have never lived with the kinds of support, accountability, involvement, discipline and love that such an environment provides. Staff and young people live together as a family, sharing meals, household chores and responsibilities, life experiences and the ebbs and flows of normal and healthy family life. Depending on the individual age, educational, vocational and life needs and goals, a young person may live with our staff from 1 to 4 years.
