Since 2007, Kumnit Kumar Organization (KKO) has supported vulnerable children in Phnom Penh’s Andong community with education, healthcare, nutrition, and protection. Born from the work of the Italian NGO CIAI, KKO is built on the belief that every child deserves safety, learning, and the chance to dream.
Today, one of KKO’s most urgent missions is helping children living inside 14 brick factories in Kandal Province—the hidden victims of poverty and debt. Many risk dropping out of school to work in unsafe conditions. Through its weekly mobile kindergarten, KKO provides early education, play, and encouragement to children aged 3–12, while offering uniforms and supplies to help them access public school.
KKO’s holistic programs also deliver health clinics, hygiene and nutrition training, sanitation projects, and community empowerment. Annual enrolment campaigns and scholarships encourage continued education.
With WCF’s support, factory yards become classrooms, fear turns to trust, and children gain the chance to build brighter futures.
