Mission Statement
The mission of The Cambodian Family is to provide opportunities for refugee and immigrant families to develop the knowledge, skills, and desires for creating better health and well-being in their lives.
About This Cause
The Cambodian Family (TCF), was formed in 1980 by a group of Cambodian refugees who fled from the horrors of civil war and genocide in their homeland and settled in Santa Ana, California’s impoverished Minnie Street/Bishop Manor Neighborhood. Our founding members began with a small apartment where volunteers taught newcomers English and provided social adjustment services to help refugee families recover from past trauma and learn new skills. Over the past 40 years, our organization evolved into a dynamic multi-ethnic agency providing a comprehensive set of human services to immigrant and refugee families from around the world. Our mission is to provide opportunities for refugee and immigrant families to develop the knowledge, skills, and desires for creating better health and well-being in their lives. For the past 40 years, TCF has successfully managed over $32 million of public and private funding to implement programs and services in the areas of (1) community health and mental health, (2) youth development, and (3) civic engagement/immigration-related services. In FY2020, TCF reached over 30,000 community members and provided approximately 15,000 direct services to over 2,800 clients. Over 90% of our clients are low-income and limited-English proficient.
