Enfants d’Asie is a recognized public utility association certified by IDEAS and established in 1991. It enables underprivileged children from South-East Asia to build themselves a better future and to escape long-term poverty.

Enfants d’Asie is currently supporting more than 10,500 children in Cambodia, Laos, The Philippines and Vietnam. It caters to children’s basic needs and insures their education and training up until professional integration.

The context

Since 1991, Enfants d’Asie has been working in Cambodia in collaboration with the Cambodian Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Education.

Enfants d’Asie supported the reconstruction of state orphanages to take care of orphans, but also children from very poor families, to provide for their basic needs and their schooling.

Enfants d’Asie (EA) currently supports 1100 children:

• In its own centers: two children’s residential care institutions and one student center
