Second Phase of Community Center Construction

We are starting the second phase of the new construction project. Thanks to “Wilde Ganzen” (Wilde Ganzen Foundation | We support change makers), our donors, and new sponsors, the construction of the 3rd floor will be completed. The contractor is satisfied with the results so far; the developments are progressing smoothly and according to plan.

For the third phase, the finishing of the building, we are still seeking more funds and donors.

Healthcare for Andong

DARA Europe also supports SCCO in the field of healthcare. In collaboration with various partners, SCCO provides solutions for children in the educational programs. In recent months, several children with dental problems visited the dentist, and children with hearing issues received help from All Ears Cambodia.

Additionally, SCCO raises awareness on health and hygiene, both in the classroom and during parent meetings, youth group sessions, and the self-help groups. For emergencies requiring medical assistance, SCCO can assist the families thanks to the support of DARA Europe.
