Background
Because there are almost no long-term shelters for handicapped children in Cambodia, the Centre in Neak Loeung accepted to receive those children.
However, except from our own, limited programmes, there are no education programmes for handicapped children in Neak Loeung.
In Phnom Penh there are several institutions offering education, but no shelter for handicapped children.
Instead of extending our education programmes for handicapped children in Neak Loeung, we decided to try to use the existing resources and just fill the apparent gaps.
As an extension of our existing project in Neak Loeung we will therefore open a shelter for up to 20 children with special needs in Phnom Penh.
Handicapped Children
The shelter is open for physically and/or mentally handicapped children with special educational needs. They attend external training and education programmes according to their needs and capabilities.
To avoid having a group of only handicapped children and to contribute to their integration into society, we decided to mix them with non-handicapped youth.
Jobs for Adolescent Girls and Boys from the Provinces
Adolescent girls from the province who would like to continue their education at the University in Phnom Penh or at other schools, have difficulties to find a save shelter if they do not have any relatives in Phnom Penh.
There is also a lack of job opportunities for underprivileged young adults in the provinces. We will support the teenagers who have completed a vocational training in our Centres in Neak Loeung or Poipet by helping them to find jobs and places for further education.
The goal is to assist them towards an independent living until their personal and financial situation is stable enough so that they can live by themselves.

Wohngruppe für Kinder mit besonderen Bedürfnissen
Da es in Kambodscha praktisch keine Heime für Behinderte gibt, hat das Zentrum in Neak Loeung inzwischen viele Kinder mit körperlichen und/oder geisitgen Behinderungen.
Da wir in Neak Loeung nur begrenzt die Möglichkeit haben auf die spezifischen Bedüfnisse der Behinderten Kinder einzugehen, haben wir uns entschlossen eine Aussengruppe für Kinder mit besonderen Bedürfnissen zu eröffnen.
Um die gesellschaftliche Integration der Behinderten Kinder zu erleichtern ist diese Wohngruppe auch für benachteiligte Jugendliche aus unseren Zentren in Neak Loeung und Poipet offen.
Jugendliche, die in Phnom Penh eine weiterführende Ausbildung besuchen, können bei uns wohnen. Jugendliche die in der Provinz keine Arbeit finden werden bis zu ihrer selbständigkeit in die Wohngruppe aufgenommen.
