Welcome to
Together for Cambodia
Who we are
We are a humanitarian help organization with an ALTERNATIVE CARE CENTER FOR CHILDREN named DEI KOMA in Khmer language, it means THE CHILDREN’S LAND, where children and youth at risk or vulnerable, receive their rights, compassion, kindness and the support necessary to grow up happy and healthy, becoming their new home.
In Autumn 2007 I came to Cambodia as a tourist. My name is Lidia Linde Ginesta, I am from Spain and I was enthralled by the colours, the sound of the Mekong River, the living Tonle Sap water and the magic of the ancient architecture and Temple. Cambodia´s recent past, and the tragic consequences of the Civil war also touched me deeply. I fell in love with the country, its people and its difficult journey.
I came back to Cambodia as a volunteer many times. I worked in 3 organizations with children that would inspire a king to build an empire for them. I decided to see what I could do to help these children.
My life would never be the same again. I made the commitment to invest my time and energy in working with a group of young children, all of whom come from seriously disadvantaged home, to help them get the education and support they need to make a real contribution to the development of their community and their country. I have been residing permanently in Cambodia since 2010.
Hard years of war, conflict and widespread violence between 1970 and 1990 destroyed the infrastructure of the Cambodian society and the progress of a nation that was known as the France of Southeast Asia.
They are subjected to situations of injustice, malnutrition, homelessness, child abuse, prostitution, disease and sexually transmitted diseases. Malaria, AIDS and land mines have maimed the population. There are communities with no electricity or running water and a serious lack of hygiene. Cambodia lost a generation of trained adults, destroyed by a the regime of terror.
• Our headquarters is in Siem Reap, just minutes away from the magnificent ancient temples of Angkor Wat.
• We are NOT an orphanage.
• We are a humanitarian help organization with an ALTERNATIVE CARE CENTER FOR CHILDREN named DEI KOMA in Khmer language, it means THE CHILDREN’S LAND, where children and youth at risk or vulnerable, receive their rights, compassion, kindness and the support necessary to grow up happy and healthy, becoming their new home.
The young children are
the hope for the future.
