What your organisation does

Eggshell Cambodia provides day-care protection for seriously at-risk children who are either currently being exploited or abused or are at high risk. Our primary goal is to provide a safe haven for these children by giving them a secure environment in their local area when their parents are working and unable to care for them. We enhance this

with the provision of basic hygiene, a balanced meal, early-learning education in a Gospel based environment and safe playtime.
