Cambodian Children’s Trust (CCT) is a secular, non-profit Cambodian NGO working to enable children in Battambang to break free from the cycle of poverty and become educated, ethical and empowered leaders in their communities. One in four Cambodians live under the poverty line. At Cambodian Children’s Trust (CCT), we work to break the cycle of poverty and create lasting change in the lives of vulnerable children and their families. CCT was established in 2007 when Tara Winkler and Jedtha Pon, with the support of the Cambodian Ministry of Social Affairs, Veteran and Youth Rehabilitation, rescued 14 children from a corrupt and abusive orphanage in Battambang. Since then, we’ve grown to support more than 300 children and their families through our community, education and social enterprise programs. These programs work together to ensure children and their families have the comprehensive support they need to thrive. All children supported through our programs live in a family. At CCT, we: •take a holistic approach to working with children and their families •are proud to be a local NGO, registered in Cambodia and with a majority of Cambodian staff •seek ways to become more and more sustainable, through our social enterprises •are apolitical and secular, serving all individuals equally, regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or political affiliation
