Community Development
New Life Foundation, a Christian Non-Profit Organization in Cambodia since October 1994, provides and supports many community development projects.
New Life Foundation spearheads sustainable humanitarian work for the benefit of all in the community, hand-in-hand with the local church, and also to support and empower people for the ministry of New Life Fellowship. It is apolitical, not serving any political party.
New Life Foundation’s Community Development projects specialize in providing educational opportunities as a catalyst for Cambodians, giving opportunities for a great future for every individual and family, regardless of their background. Our Language & Life Skills Training, Livelihood Initiatives, Leadership Training program, and Patient Care Ministry partner with Cambodia’s Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.
Student Dormitories
NEED Phnom Penh is a city of over two million people, and young people from underprivileged backgrounds are quickly drawn into lives of hopelessness, depression, addictions, and exploitation. Young men and women from the rural areas of Cambodia who want to further their education often have no safe place to live in Phnom Penh. Young people who have grown up in orphanages are required to move out on their own when they reach the age of 18. Having lived in an institution for most of their lives, they are ill-equipped and unprepared to live totally independently. Young people from the partnering village churches
Patient Care And Referral

Children At Risk
NEED:Many village children have only one parent or are orphaned. These children grow up in extremely poor conditions as their families struggle to live day to day.

New Transformed Lives
THE NEED: The number of children who drop out of school in Cambodia is very high. Because of large classrooms (60 children in a classroom), children can often get to 6th grade and not even know how to read yet. In 6th grade, they are required to take a state test. If they fail the test they cannot advance to secondary school. Many parents pull their children from school if they cannot pass the test. THE VISION & GOALS New Transformed Lives’ vision is to provide additional/complementary education (which encourages them to stay at school and be able to
Clean Water
THE NEED: Many villagers do not have close access to clean water. They must carry it from long distances to their homes. This makes life difficult.

By providing water wells, water filters, and clean and hygiene training, and empowering local churches to introduce the Gospel because of the donated well, we hope to see small group gatherings started in each community where we work.

Tomorrow’s Generation
THE NEED: Students from villages often do not have the money required to pursue education past high school. This adversely affects the jobs they can procure, and limits their ability to help their families break the cycle of poverty.

We provide sponsorships for needy village students to pursue university in the city. In addition, we provide opportunities to gain knowledge and valuable work experience through internships and volunteer opportunities with New Life Foundation, New Life
