Our vision is to break the poverty cycle and transform the lives of at-risk children and communities in Cambodia. We love, nurture and empower vulnerable children through holistic support and life-changing educational opportunities that enrich disadvantaged communities.
Cambodia has a heart breaking recent history which has crippled this beautiful south east Asian country. During the 1960s and ’70s, while civil war raged in Cambodia, the USA carpet bombed the Cambodian countryside. The communists won the civil war and over the next four years, more than a quarter of the population was systematically murdered by its leader, Pol Pot. More than thirty years later, the disastrous impact on the gentle-natured people of Cambodia is still profound.
Sunrise Cambodia began in the early 1990s when a South Australian fifty-year old named Geraldine Cox took in a group of orphans she found fending for themselves near the Thai border. These were some of the orphaned grandchildren from Pol Pot’s murderous regime. Unable to have her own children, Geraldine became “Mum to Many” as she took in street kids, orphans and the disabled to give them good food, a place to sleep, an education and lots of love.
With the need so great, Sunrise Cambodia has grown to support whole communities with much-needed sustainable development so that families can thrive: clean water, sanitation and healthcare, followed by education. Sunrise has a team of 100 Cambodian staff and a small fundraising crew in Australia.
The work of Sunrise Cambodia is entirely funded by generous donors. The Australian Government does not fund this humanitarian work. We need your help.
