A home that raises young leaders

Many teenagers in rural Koh Kong live far from a high school. Our dorm in Koh Kong town gives them a safe home, daily meals, help with their studies, and a family that walks with them in faith and character.

The need

Bright students, far from opportunity

To keep studying, village students must move to town, but their families cannot pay for rent and food. After the border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, financial hardship pushed many rural high school students in Koh Kong to drop out.

A safe home near school changes that. With a bed, meals and people who believe in them, students can stay in school and grow.

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

“I prayed for a long time because I didn’t want to stop studying. But my mom told me we couldn’t afford for me to continue… Then the UofN team came to my school and shared about the dorm. My mom said yes. God answered my prayer. Before, I was very shy. Now I can be the MC and stand in front of people.”
