Background

Children In Families (or Komar Knong Krousar in Khmer), is a non-government and non-profit organization in Cambodia, established in 2006, by individuals concerned about the overuse of institutions in caring for the needs of Cambodia’s children at risk. At Children In Families, we recognize God’s design of the family. We understand that for children to develop and grow in a wholesome way requires the love, nurturing and the security of a permanent family unit. Our desire is to find permanent Cambodian families for children through kinship care and long-term foster care for children who cannot be reunited with their birth parents.
