Mission Statement

World Assistance for Cambodia (WAfC)/ Japan Relief for Cambodia (JRfC) is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving opportunities for the youth and rural poor in Cambodia. WAfC/JRfC operates interlinked programs across Cambodia in the areas of education, health, rural development, and technology.

About This Cause

We operate over half a dozen programs in Cambodia: The Rural Schools Project is a program to build schools, classrooms and libraries in the poor remote areas of Cambodia. Further enhancements such as computers and internet connection (powered by solar energy), English and computer training, vegetable gardens, wells and water filters, and a school nurse are added to many of our schools. The Girls Be Ambitious Project enables girls who are unable to go to school due to conditions of poverty to attend one of our rural schools and receive an education instead of having to work in the fields, do chores at home or take care of siblings. The participating girl’s family receives a $10 stipend at the end of each month when she has perfect attendance. The Bright Future Kids is a full-scholarship magnet program for academically-talented students from our rural schools who wish to expand their education and become the future leaders of Cambodia. A New Life Orphanage is a warm and nurturing home for orphans who have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. The Sihanouk Hospital Center of Hope, located in Phnom Penh, provides quality medical care to the poor free of charge.
