Sunrise Cambodia

Sunrise Cambodia Join us in the fight against poverty, transforming lives, one child at a time. We have 100 Cambodian staff and a small fundraising team in Australia.

Sunrise loves, nurtures and empowers vulnerable children through holistic support and life-changing educational opportunities that, in turn, enrich disadvantaged communities. Sunrise Cambodia is a world-class charity working on the ground in Cambodia to give much-needed help to at-risk kids, struggling families and poor communities in some of the most poverty-stricken provinces of the country. Cam

bodia has a heart breaking recent history which has crippled this beautiful south east Asian country. During the 1960s and ’70s, while civil war raged in Cambodia, the USA carpet bombed the Cambodian countryside. The communists won the civil war and over the next four years, more than a quarter of the population was systematically murdered by its leader, Pol Pot. More than thirty years later, the disastrous impact on the gentle-natured people of Cambodia is still profound. Sunrise Cambodia began in the early 1990s when a South Australian fifty-year old named Geraldine Cox began a small orphanage to care for the some of the orphaned grandchildren from Pol Pot’s regime. Unable to have her own children, Geraldine became “Mum to Many” as she took in street kids, orphans and the disabled to give them good food, a place to sleep, an education and lots of love. With the need so great, Sunrise Cambodia has grown to support whole communities with the basics for survival: clean water, sanitation and healthcare, followed by education. The work of Sunrise Cambodia is entirely funded by generous donors. The Australian Government does not fund this humanitarian work. We need your help.

Last week, our wonderful volunteers from the International School of Phnom Penh (ISPP) completed their delightful murals in our new kindergarten classroom. Their generosity, enthusiasm, and willingness to give their time have helped create a bright and fun learning environment for the children. The new kindergarten supports more than 65 students each day, attending both morning and afternoon shifts.
We are deeply grateful for their contribution and commitment. Together, we are building not only colorful classrooms but also brighter futures for Cambodia’s children.

We don’t get to choose the life we are born into ! But we do often get to make choices with the life we have

Spending time at Sunrise Cambodia this week has been an honor. We have met so many incredible children and some of the passionate people that are working so hard to take care of them.
This place has touched our hearts forever.
Elijah already knows his fundraising won’t end here, this week, with this sponsored hair shave. He’s already thinking about how to raise more much needed money for Sunrise Cambodia
