Why support this programme?
‘Without the Sangkheum Program for Young Adults there may as well not be any orphanages if all it does is postpone the time until the children/young adults are back living off the streets in poverty’
Daniela – Project Manager, Sangkheum Center for Children
Most of the children in the centre have siblings that will be inspired and ultimately supported by the elder brothers and sisters.
HOPE firmly believes supporting the Sangkheum Program for Young Adults will make a permanent difference to the Young Adults.
