Just Children
The Just Foundation is about helping people. More than anything it is about changing futures. Here are some of the children that your purchases will help. These kids are the lucky ones as they are already in projects supported by us. Your help will continue to protect them and many others like them, providing food, shelter and education. You will be giving them a chance in the world and hope for a brighter tomorrow.
Dalen (F)
My name is Dalen and I am 13 years old. I live in Cambodia in a centre with lots of other children. I don’t know my parents, I was found on the street when I was small. I used to find snails and crabs in the field to eat. The Just Foundation helps me to have a safe place to sleep and provides me with good food.
Chheng (M)
My name is Chheng, I am 12 years old and I live in a children’s centre in Cambodia. My father died of AIDS and my mother has HIV and cannot look after me. Before I came to the centre I never went to school because I had to work as a garbage picker. The Just Foundation helps me to get an education.
Sras (F)
I am Sras and I am 13 years old. I am from Cambodia.
Both my mother and father died of AIDS. I had 8 siblings but 3 of them
died too. I had to work hard to get money for my family before I came
to the centre. My dream is to be a teacher and The Just Foundation can
help me with that dream.
Ratana (M)
My name is Ratana and I am 11 years old. I have been living in a children’s centre in Cambodia for 2 years. My family moved to the city so we could pick garbage and live at the dump. I’d collect plastic bags and tin cans and I got 12p a day. Now I don’t have to work and The Just Foundation can help me to get a better future.
Moung (M)
My name is Moung, I’m 12 and I live in Cambodia. I used to live on the street with my mum, stepfather and younger brother. It was very cold when it rained because the streets would flood. I begged for money and rice and gave it to my father when he was sick. The Just Foundation can help me to get good medical care and I can see the doctor if I get sick.
Srey La (F)
My name is Srey La and I’m 11 years old. Before I came to the centre I had never been to school. I just picked garbage. I earned 10p a day and gave it to my mother to buy food and pay for the rent. Now I am very happy to be with all the other children at the centre. The Just Foundation can help me go to school and have pencils and books.
Tieng (F)
My name is Tieng. I am 11 years old. I used to live in the countryside with my parents. I would take care of the cow in the rice field. They divorced and my father moved away so we came to the city to pick garbage. Now I am happy because The Just Foundation can help me to have a good home and enough food to eat.
Sokhom (M)
My name is Sokhom. I am 8 years old. I came to the centre because my mother and father both died. I have 3 siblings but I don’t know where they are. Somebody found me and helped me.

Srey Leak (F)
My name is Srey Leak, I am 6 years old and I live in Cambodia. I lived with my parents but they got divorced and left me and my siblings with our grandfather.

The Just Foundation can help me be a teacher.
