About this Project:

Mira previously assisted a girls’ shelter in Cambodia, and it remained fully operational for 13 years.  The residents arrived from broken circumstances having survived abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

The shelter provided professional trauma counselling, physical care, and academic services. Although a pillar in the community for over a decade, its largest funder could no longer support it, and the shelter ultimately closed. As pandemic years continued, many Cambodian families were forced into poverty as businesses folded. School lockdowns resulted in thousands of youth moving into indentured servitude, and at the same time, online sexual exploitation of children expanded significantly.

In January 2024 to great joy, a new shelter began, and the first girls arrived in October of that year. With each new construction portion completed, more girls were and will be able to come as well.  That is, if the financial backing remains strong.  It’s been evident in this last year and a half that the problems caused by these girls’ broken backgrounds are transformed here as they have their basic needs met for food, clothing, schooling, and housing; they can rest with a sense of security.  

Donations of all sizes are warmly welcomed.
