What we do: Based on CCAFO By-Law, CCAFO signed the Memorandum of Agreement with icF, CCAFO serves as grant coordination body to provide fund from icF to sub-grantees (NGOs) that operate educational programs in Cambodia.   All sub-grantees are registered as NGO with the Ministry of Interior of the Royal Government of Cambodia and operate the projects within Cambodia Law.  Please view the flow on how we coordinate fund from icF to sub-grantees (icF-CCAFO-Sub-Grantees-Omprakash-Fund-Flow).  You are invited to view the NGOs that have had received grant from icF in the sub-grantee page.

Accountability:  Fund from icF is transferred to Cambodia through Omprakash in U.S.A and CCAFO submitted expenses report to Omprakash.  The financial reports can be found in Omprakash’s webpage.  To ensure fund is used to meet the purpose from donor, CCAFO management team work with icF Representative Veronika Geyer together with all sub-grantees executive team on a regular basis.  

Our Appreciation: Our team and beneficiaries would like to express our sincerely thank to icF for supporting the humanitarian work in Cambodia.  You can check through the link to learn about the projects that iHerb has sponsored projects in Cambodia. 

We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of Grapes for Humanity Canada (GfH-Canada), whose funding has empowered the Cambodian Children’s Advocacy Foundation Organization (CCAFO) to deliver impactful programs across multiple years.

In 2025, their support enabled us to launch the Capacity Building for Community Preschool Education training program for teachers and local leaders in Kampong Laeng District, Kampong Chhnang Province.

Earlier support in 2009, 2010, and 2012 made it possible to implement the Community Preschool and Income-Generating Projects, laying the groundwork for long-term educational and economic development.

The results speak for themselves: many children who began their learning journeys in our community preschools are now university students or employed in reputable companies, achieving financial independence and supporting their families.

Grapes for Humanity Canada’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian work and education continues to create real change. We are proud to partner with them and value their steadfast dedication to building sustainable futures for vulnerable communities.

CCAFO has proudly partnered with the Omprakash Foundation since 2012. Omprakash is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit, which means donors and charities can support CCAFO through Omprakash and receive tax-deductible benefits. This partnership has helped us expand opportunities for children in rural Cambodia, and we continue to grow stronger together. A Statement of Sponsorship from Omprakash is available if needed (Updated September 19, 2025).

By September 10, 2025, the Buddhist Library Cambodia Project.ORG (BLCP) officially changed its name to Karuna Children Cambodia Organization (KCCO), a charity NGO registered with the Ministry of Interior of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Since its establishment in 2005, the organization has been dedicated to improving the welfare of Cambodian children and creating a solid foundation for schoolchildren in the target provinces of Kampot, Kampong Speu, and Takeo. The goal has always been to give children better opportunities for employment after graduation. To achieve this, the organization has worked across several key areas, including WASH, dental and eye health care, education, and community assistance.

In 2012, KCCO began supporting CCAFO in two main areas: Income Generating Activities and the Village-Based Preschool Project. From 2014 until now (2025), KCCO has continued its support for the Village-Based Preschool Project by contributing shared costs for preschool teacher salaries, the project supervisor, and overhead expenses related to the preschools. In addition, BLCP has donated rainwater tanks to the English Language Project in Kampong Speu and provided toothbrushes and toothpaste for preschool students.

Shamrock Love is a non-profit social and fundraising network for the global Irish community and friends to raise awareness and show support for the charities that matter to us.

In early 2010, Shamrock Love founder Siobhán Kelleher-Petersen was introduced to CCAFO through the Irish community in Cambodia. Thus, in April 2010, Siobhán Kelleher-Petersen paid a visit (see photo) to view Chrak Khley Community Preschool in Banteay Meas District, Kampot Province, Cambodia.  The preschool has been running by the Cambodian Children’s Advocacy Foundation Organization (CCAFO).

Since 2010, the 3-Legged Charity Race and Shamrock Love has donated over 164,700 DKK (~€22,000) to CCAFO.  This money was used as share cost to support CCAFO’s community preschool and English language projects.

Past Partners

In 2024, the Cambodian Children’s Advocacy Foundation Organization (CCAFO) was a partner organization with the Department of Building, Environment, and Energy Engineering (BEEE) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong for the Cambodia Service-Learning Project.

In 2021, IDEA Support the relocation of a preschool classroom at Chrak Khley Community Preschool.  In 2022, IDEA Supports building a restroom at Chrak Sdao Community Preschool and raised floor at the Lork Community Preschool (IDEA 1 Preschool).

In 2018, Ying Wa College (YWC) joined the IDEA Project to bring students to visit the Cambodian Children’s Advocacy Foundation Organization (CCAFO) for the first time and YWC pledged a donation to support the project. Since then, YWC and CCAFO have been exchanging ideas on providing voluntary support to each other in the aspect of learning and teaching experiences, particularly for the Non-Formal Education Program of its Motherland Cambodia Education Center (MLC), where free-of-charge English programmes are providing for students in rural Cambodia.  With the successful collaboration of the past few years, YWC and CCAFO are planning to formalize the communication with the partnership agreements including: 1) Staff Capacity Building; 2) Experience Sharing; and 3) promotion of cultural exchange.

We take this opportunity to thank all funders for supporting our project from the beginning; without your help, CCAFO may face difficulty in starting and continuing the operations.
