Project Mission

Family Care Cambodia is a faith-based, non-profit organization founded in 2002 by Alex and Ann Soldner. We were recognized by the Cambodian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2006; the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in 2009 and the Council for the Development of Cambodia in 2009.

We partner with like-minded Cambodian organizations and individuals, using our time and resources to help them succeed. Our goal is to help children develop their full potential in a loving and nurturing environment; to strengthen and encourage parents, teachers and caregivers and to equip them with the resources for the job.

Ruby International School

Early childhood education, access to technology, and bi-lingual training remain largely out of reach for most in rural Cambodia. As a result, many children struggle academically and drop out of school before completing 6th grade, to help their families with chores and field work instead.

In an effort to address this need, FCC helped to establish the Ruby International School; a community learning center in a village with over 200 families, in a province where only an estimated 10% of children enroll in secondary school.

Students come from the surrounding villages and are enrolled in daily preschool or English classes. FCC seek donors to sponsor students from the poorest families, and supplement teacher salaries. RIS serves as a base from which they reach out to the vulnerable and needy in the community.

Special Olympics Cambodia

Since 2007, we have partnered with the National Special Olympic Committee of Cambodia to host athletic competitions for intellectually challenged children and youth.

We organize the donation, delivery and distribution of free lunch, snacks and drinks for all participating children, care-givers and parents.

We also installed a professional soccer pitch, playground, volley ball court and boulez court at the RIS campus in Kampong Speu. These provide both our students and members of the local community, the only sports and recreational venue in the district.
