Family Houses
To welcome children into a safe and caring environment, tailored to their needs.
Objective
To welcome children in a safe and caring environment, tailored to their needs.
The Project
The youngest and most traumatized children need particular attention to ensure their development in a secure and stable environment. These children are sent to family houses where a couple of Cambodian parents, carefully recruited, trained and followed-up by Krousar Thmey, raise the children from the Foundation as well as their own. Whenever possible, original family bonds are maintained and encouraged. Regular assessments of the children’s family situation of children are conducted. If a noticeable improvement is noted and there is no risk for the children, they may leave the house to be reunited with their relatives.
