Cambodia is a beautiful country that is still recovering from the civil war that left a third of its population dead. There are many orphans, as well as children who have been freed from the sex trafficking industry that flourishes in Cambodia.
Care for Cambodia is a Christian charity that caters for the needs of some of these children. At present more than 60 live in the home in Phnom Penh, and others who live in outlying vilages receive help with education and vocational training. There is a short video on youtube you can watch to get an impression of the home.
The money raised from selling the bracelets on this site goes 100% towards supporting the work of Care for Cambodia.
Some of the older children are trained in metalwork at Ironworks which aims to give them a start in a livelihood. (For details of how one of their products, Sparkies are helping to support local Christian workers in Cambodia and other nations, and how you can get involved in that, visit the Sparkies website.
