FLOW's Goal

     FLOW continues to accept more children; our number has increased to 287 kids with 23 staff working for them.

     FLOW is a diamond in the rough. We need the kind help of others to keep polishing our beautiful gem until it can reach its full potential. We are striving to improve and expand each of our facets (such as the Handicraft Center, Performance Space, and Vocational Centers) with the goal of self-sufficiency. In the meantime, we have great need. We are still a small organization, devoted to our children and helping our people. We must rely on the kind financial support of direct donations from individuals and organizations to help us grow and maintain the daily needs of FLOW.

     Apart from shelter, accommodation, and food, FLOW also sends children to public schools for general education. Of the above mentioned number of kids, 98 attend Primary School, 143 attend Secondary School, 2 go to college, and 44 are sent to provinces across Cambodia to train other children in computer skills. Within FLOW, they are offered additional instruction in computers, English language, arts, drawing and handicrafts. These skills are very important to the kids as they instill confidence and open many doors to future career opportunities. Furthermore, these activities provide them with a cultural education that bonds them to their rich Khmer heritage.

     Once each child has reached the age of 18, we work closely with these young adult to ensure a successful transition from the protective walls of FLOW to the outside world. It is our emotional health with the capacity for self-sufficiency. This allows us to take in even more children in need.
