With your help, we hope to be able to fulfil the dream of two exceptional young women who came to our children's village 10 years ago very poor and without a family and grew up there. With diligence, ambition and determination, Lisa and Sreyna have qualified for university. They are striving for an economically independent life and want to make a valuable contribution to the development of their country.
What does EUC do?
'Empower Underprivileged Children' (EUC) is a Swiss non-profit organisation with a focus on supporting “KKEV Cambodia” (Kinderhilfe Kambodscha) through various fundraising activities.
What does KKEV Cambodia do?
Kinderhilfe Kambodscha (KKEV) is committed to helping children in difficult circumstances, accompanying and supporting them on their way to emotional stability, social participation and economic independence. KKEV Cambodia has been running two facilities in Phnom Penh for 20 years: a children's village for 100 children between the ages of 2 and 20 and a street children's programme for up to 120 children.
In the children's village, children from neglected backgrounds without caring family structures live permanently in a safe and caring home until they have completed public school and can stand on their own two feet. In the “Street Children Programme”, 120 children receive school support and a daily meal.
All of the children attend public school, but due to their difficult social background, they need targeted educational support so that they can complete their schooling and complete an apprenticeship or, in future, go to university. At the end of their time at KKEV Cambodia, the young adults are able to stand on their own two feet - financially and emotionally.
My husband Stephan and I lived in Asia for many years with our five children. Since then, we have supported the work of KKEV Cambodia to help children from extreme poverty and the most difficult living conditions to have a future with real opportunities. KKEV was founded 20 years ago by my husband's uncle who, due to his age, has now handed over the reins to us. I am on the board of Kinderhilfe Kambodscha e.V. and together we founded the Swiss organization EUC.
