eFoster Parent Program

We’re connecting caring supporters with
orphaned and vulnerable children in Cambodia.

What is the eFoster Parent Program?

We believe it’s possible to change the trajectory of a child’s life by offering consistent love and support, which is why our eFoster Parent Sponsorship Program is the heart of our organization. We match each of our caring sponsors (“eFoster Parents”) with a child for a special, one-to-one relationship that consists of at least one email exchange per month, and a $500 donation each year.

By becoming an eFoster Parent, you can transform a child’s future for the better.

Why Cambodia?

In the late 1970s, Cambodia was the site of one of the worst genocides in history, with roughly one quarter of its population perishing and its government and society left in tatters.

As part of its campaign in Vietnam, the U.S. began carpet-bombing Cambodia in 1969, exacerbating internal conflict and destabilizing the region. In 1975, the Khmer Rouge Regime and its leader, Pol Pot, seized control of the country and pushed Cambodia towards a radical vision of communism. In an effort to “cleanse” the population, the educated middle-class in the cities were split from their families, marched to villages in the countryside, and forced to work in labor camps. Hundreds of thousands were tortured and executed, and many more died of starvation. By 1979, the regime had taken over 1.5 million lives, or roughly a quarter of the population.

Though decades have passed since the Khmer Rouge, its devastating impact can still be felt today in the lives of Cambodia’s children.

*Map data from ___________________.

In Cambodia, 1 out of every 6 children lives in extreme poverty, without access to an education, consistent meals, or even a safe place to sleep.

This economic hardship creates a cycle in which these children are unable to lift themselves out of poverty, due to the intense demands of simply surviving each day.

Here’s how we make a difference.

Our eFoster Parent program connects individual children at our partner orphanage, the Aloha Learning Center, with our incredible sponsors, who become their eFoster Parents and are a regular part of the student’s life. Some ways that our eFoster Parents and their children connect include:

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Eliminating the Burden of Poverty

As an eFoster Parent, your financial contribution will help cover the cost of basic needs for children at the Aloha Learning Center. This allows these young people to focus on more than simply surviving.

LOVE/EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

The Life-Changing Impact of Checking In

At least once per month our eFoster parents correspond with their foster children via email. Few of these children have ever had an adult keeping track of their progress or supporting them as they grow. Through this incredible program these kids get the crucially important experience of being loved and supported individually.

EDUCATION

The Aloha Learning Center prepares students for independence

The ALC prepares students to break the cycle of poverty with English language classes and computer skills training.

CONTINUED COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Our Advanced Education Program ensures that students get support on the rocky path to independence

A vocational training program that ensures our students are able to support themselves and their families into the future.
