As another year draws to a close, we find ourselves overwhelmed with gratitude. Behind every number in this update is a child whose life has changed, and a community of staff, families, and supporters who made it happen.
Children Placed in Families
This year more children than ever moved out of institutions and into the care of loving families. Each placement represents months of careful work by our social work and care teams.
Across Every Program
Our growth spanned foster care, kinship care, emergency care, and domestic adoption. No single program carries this work alone — they fit together to meet each child’s unique situation.
Strengthening Our Team
We welcomed new caseworkers and invested in training for our existing staff, deepening our ability to support families well.
Learning Together
Throughout the year our team gathered for training on trauma-informed care, child protection, and the practical realities of supporting families in crisis.
Partners Who Walked With Us
None of this work happens in isolation. Churches, donors, and local partners stood with us at every step.
A Shared Mission
To everyone who gave, prayed, fostered, or simply shared our story — thank you. You are part of every child’s new beginning.
Looking Ahead
The need remains great, and so does our resolve. In the year ahead we will continue working so that every vulnerable child in Cambodia can grow up known, safe, and loved within a family.
Children in Families (CIF) is a local Christian non-profit working across the Kingdom of Cambodia to place vulnerable children in loving families. Through foster care, kinship care, emergency care, domestic adoption, and family-strengthening outreach, CIF works so that every child can grow up known, safe, and loved within a family — not an institution.
