Our mission:
To give abandoned children a secure home, a happy childhood and a future full of hope.

Little Hearts Organisation (LHO) mission is to save abandoned children from a harsh life of poverty on the streets of Cambodia. Our dedicated team raises them together in their new home as one family, giving them the foundations for life which every child deserves. They benefit from a secure environment, a loving home, and a decent education. Little Hearts kids learn the value of cooperation and teamwork which helps the orphanage sustain a vibrant, productive environment.

They receive a wide-ranging curriculum giving them the education they need to maximise their potential. They also engage in creative activities and are free to peruse their passions. As they grow up with their brothers and sisters, they regain the promise of a happy childhood and the opportunities that every child deserves.
