In the last decade Cambodia has achieved national reconciliation, peace and stability. However the country still remains one of the poorest in the world.

There are over thousands of Cambodian street children who are orphans, they all come from a history of abusive family, HIV carrier, poverty, and lack the simple necessities of life. Many of them live on the street and prowl the street at night; trying to survive another day and in hope of seeing their next birthday.

With out the love, care, and simple necessities of life, these children will only grow up to be uneducated and non social adults. Which are looked down up on by society and forgotten by the country.

YCSCO was established to make a difference to change the children’s lives and to support future adults of Cambodia.

About Us

There are over thousands of Cambodian street kids roaming the Cambodian street day and night. These children are mainly orphans who were abandoned by their parents and left to survive on their own. They all come from a history of a abusive family, HIV carrier, poverty, and lack of education. Many of them live on the streets and prowl the street at night.

If you take a moment and look closely into the eye of a Cambodian child, you will see their eyes are full of sorrow, lost of hope, a cry for love and affection and most importantly the need of nutritional food, which has left their bodies brittle and weak.

However we can change this sight, if we all lend each other a hand we can make a difference. YCSCO tries to provide hope and support to these vulnerable children. With many supports from our donors for foods, books, equipments, and gift funds, our Cambodian kids can be provided with the simple necessity of life such as well nourished meals, safe home, education, care and support. They are the future of Cambodia. Thanks you to all of our Contributors who donated to the works of Cambodian Street kids Organization.


“We want to thank you with our hearts !”

Your Cambodian Street Children Organization (YCSCO) is a local Khmer organization which was established in October 2007. Our goal is simple: to rescue Cambodian street kids and disadvantage children from the dark and to provide them a light to guide them into the future. We help all who are orphan, poor, uneducated, abused victims and abandon children. Many abandon children had lost their parents due to AIDS.

The organization strives to find donors and financial funding to run each project and to support each child. We search for donors and supporters across the globe and has attracted many different interest groups with different motives. The majority of them opened their heart and gave us full support with our projects and plans. Many of these children live off the street in unsanitary environments. They scattered in the streets working for some little money to support themselves such as selling newspapers, digging in trash for some leftover meals, and etc…


This is their everyday life!

1: some are illiterate
2: have no clean clothes
3: eat unhealthy foods
4: many are heavily affected by scabies and lice

We need your help !!!

Our goals are to provide them the better chance of surviving day to day life. We will try and

1: provides them with good education
2: proper clean uniforms
3: proper nutritious foods everyday
4: live and sleep in a sanitary and safe environments
5: provides proper and good healthcare
6: educate and teach life skills for everyday living

We want to challenge you to get involved, as these precious little angels are growing up! They are still at great risk, and in desperate need of a guardian angel just like you.

Further quality education is expensive and is highly impossible for them. Therefore we are working hard to find funds and support to enable them the ability offurther education.

Background

YCSCO Co-Founders
Our Story

Your Cambodian street children organization (YCSCO) is a Cambodian Non -Governmental Organization. It was established in October 2007. The purposes to establish an NGO are to motivate donors, to assist the Cambodian government and to provide a means to save vulnerable street children. As well as to help in the reduction of poverty and provide strong support to the local Cambodian communities.

Cambodian President/CEO Sorn Lorn :

My name is Sorn Lorn, I was born in Phnom Penh. I have been through many things in my life. You could say I have seen it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. My experience in life has taught me many things, to never give up and to never lose hope. I wanted to be a role model for the younger generations to come and to inspire them to live out their dreams, and work hard for their future.

I have witness the suffering of the Cambodian children and community first hand, I have also faced harsh circumstance in my self so I know how it feels to have sleepless nights of hunger and pain both mentally and physically.


I have told my self, I won’t allow any one to suffer the way I did, I will try my best to help the street children off the streets and in to schools for a better future. I will help to be apart of their lives, providing shelter, food, water, safety, education, training and family love.


Throughout my life I have been volunteering in many NGO helping street kids and orphans to gain sight into a better future, better life, and to become a better person. I have studied Japanese for 4 years from NGO who gave me the skill to teach foreign language to disadvantage kids and people.


When I see them learning, smiling, eating, sleeping, and playing, I see in them the love and comforts they never receive before. It was not until I met Miss Rom Him and Miss Maily Duong who inspired me to start Your Cambodian Street Children Organization to help rescue more of the 19,000 street kids and orphans roaming in Cambodia. Together, we share the passion, the love, and the hard works we had put in to create YCSCO as a new home and beginning for many kids.

USA Executive director : Miss Rom Him:

My name is Rom Him. I was born in Thailand and raised in United States of America as a Cambodian American since the age of 2 years. Living in the largest Khmer community in the United States, Long Beach, California, I have learned the history of Khmer, cultures, traditions, and values through my family, friends, and role models. Even though I can only speak the language but the respect, heritage and Khmer prides are fully absorbed in me.


I have never visited Cambodia but i have heard and seen the pity stories and images of many poor and disadvantaged people in Cambodia. Each day they wake up early before the sunrise and start their day as a seller, a farmer, a beggar, a trash digger, or a poor worker. I realize that these people have missed out on the chance to receive the simple needs in life such as education; the highly respected skills and knowledge everyone need to gain a better life.


I don’t need to go to Cambodia to know how they live their life. Just witnessing some American here who are poor is enough for me, just the thought of the hardship of disadvantage people in cambodia really makes my heart ache. i think to my self, If living here in United States cans can be at times a struggle, well imagine cambodia!


To prevent this, education is the key for a better quality of life and we need to start with kids. Kids are a countries future. There are many abandoned kids walking around in Cambodia as I have seen in the news. But how can I help, I ask myself? The only thing I can do is make a donation , a few dollars of mine to them, but I want to do more.


I have always had the passion to help others and to see and hear many pitiful and sorrow stories of the future generation kids, my heart break even more. I thought I couldn’t help much because I am far, but when I knew YCSCO president, Mr Sorn Lorn and Australian vice president Miss Maily Duong, who have inspired me to make my dream a reality, we started to work really hard to bring in new home and hope for the children.

Australian Executive Director: Miss Maily Duong:

My name is Maily Duong. I am an Australian born Cambodian. So all I have known all my life is the great land of Australia. However I was taught at a very young age to never forget my roots, I still carry my Cambodian heritage with pride and honor, even though I am unable to write in the Khmer but I can speak and try my very best to up hold my cultural traditions.

I have been back to Cambodia twice now; both of my visits have been unforgettable with both happy and sad memories. I think it must have been the biggest reality shock, I knew that Cambodia was a third world country which was struggling to find its feet after years of devastating conflict. But I it hadn’t hit home till I arrived in Phnom Penh.


I got to witness with my own two eyes the suffering of the Cambodian people; the most important thing that really broke my heart was to see young children in pain and poverty. I have never let my self forget the image of a begging child or the grandmother begging for a warm meal. My heart felt a deep sharp pain, I had told my self at the age of 15 years old that I will come back to Cambodia and help these children and the Cambodian community.


Though I hadnt known who these people were, in my heart they were my family, my little bother, sister, mother, father, uncle, aunty, grand mother and grand father. They didn’t have to be blood related for me to feel a connection just being Cambodian was enough. To see them suffer was like seeing a family member in need of help; this was why I felt so strongly about helping the Khmer community.


I had felt lost; I didn’t know how I could help; I always thought that I was too young, what can I do? However I did volunteer in several programs to help the Cambodian orphans. Now I’m 20 years old and for the first time I felt, that I can achieve my dreams of helping my fellow Cambodians. I have searched for an organization which shared the same goals and objectives as me.

It was only when I met the YCSCO president Mr. Sorn Lorn and secretary Miss Rom Him when I realized that I was able to do something about my dream and able to finally help these children. All three of us shared the same passion and dreams; this was one of the reasons why we all decided to form a international non-profit organization called “YOUR CAMBODIAN STREET CHILDREN ORGANIZATION where our mission is to make a difference”

YCSCO emergency relief fund

YCSCO emergency relief fund

YCSCO defines relief as assisting in the provisions of basic and temporary support to people in emergency situations. Where our objective would be to alleviate human suffering amongst those least able to withstand the damage caused by the disaster.

Relief means the provision of basic support to people in emergency situations – for example, natural phenomena such as earthquakes, or chronic disasters such as famine or conflict. In theses emergency situations, direct assistance (such as distribution of clothing, food, seeds and tools, temporary housing) may be provided as part of a short term relief response.

YCSCO will also help to provide relief to Australia, if a emergency disaster was to occur, as emergency relief is not be restricted to just helping Cambodia. If YCSCO had the ability, YCSCO will also help to relief the emergency situation in Australia and its neighboring countries. YCSCO will provide emergency relief to:

• Cambodia
• Australia
• USA
• Vietnam
• Laos

Monk School

YCSCO has done comprehensive research of the needs and wants of the Buddhist monks, the main thing that they all requested was to study.

Monks want to study the English language as they know that English is an important international language used for communication on a world wide level.

The problem is that Buddhist monks do not have the ability to do so, the few problems that restrict this are:


. No funds to study, Buddhist monks don’t work so they simply to not have the money to study at school.

. Buddhist monks can not study with girls; this would be against the rule of being a Buddhist monk.

. Buddhist monks can not walk kilometres at a time just to study, as its simply not practical.

. Currently there is no school specifically designed for monks or any programs to support the education of monks.

Requested Amount: $12830.00 US
Building Rooftop for Safety & Comfortable Shelter

We need a roof for this part of the roof top, we are planning to make it into a room, so it will be equipped for children to come and study with out worrying about the heat or rain.

Now it’s heading into the raining season, with out the roof top we are missing a class room and is unable to effectively and efficiently teach these children.

All the eager children line up for class, but are in tears when they are drenched with rain, no shelter for these students who are so desperate and eager to study.

Requested Amount: $4000.00 US

Your Cambodian Street Children Organization Orphanage Projects The courses developed here are to help with the development of skills that they will be able to use to find jobs and to manage a sustainable life.

We work with volunteer teachers who have had many years of experiences in their specialty areas of teaching. Teachers can create their own curriculum of study offering to students after approval from the committees. Because of the school settings in different provinces, applicants should consider their shelter arrangement in advance as well as the safety of their well-being.

Salaries are based on the living condition of those teachers who work for college and universities in Cambodia, except those who are from countries other than Cambodia will be compensated according to their expertise in the areas of teaching.Each course runs for one semester. Each student who graduates with a certificate from a previous course can register for the next one.

Upon the completion of the Building Sleeping Room Project, the rooms need 25 beds, 25 bedspreads, 25 pillows, 25 blankets, and 25 clothe drawers.
