Heartprint Hub Community Centre

Through our extensive work in Cambodia, we became aware of the need for children and families living with the challenges faced with an intellectual disability, something that receives no support from Government organisations and is looked down upon by the greater community. By creating a safe learning environment where able-minded, as well as intellectually challenged people, can work side by side we are breaking down the barriers and creating work opportunities and acceptance into the community.

By employing trained, local people at our community centre that understand the cultural and religious beliefs, the difficulties people with disabilities face, and the support they need, we have the opportunity to change the mindset of most Cambodians. It takes courage, perseverance, and strength to make these changes. At Heartprint we have worked side by side with families with special needs for many years. Breaking down barriers is not new to us. We are determined to make a better life for all Cambodians.

Our centre is a place for all people to come and be involved in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

What does the centre provide?

Education Support, offering; tutoring sessions in English and Khmer, Physical and Nutritional Education, Creative Arts sessions, Computer programs, Music Lessons, and Youth at risk mentorship programs, providing kids at risk with a support network.

On top of all of that, we offer hands-on training workshops in sewing, crocheting, weaving, jewellery making, and more. Education on sanitation, hygiene, and women’s health through workshops and information. Free counselling services, medical care, and care packages, all while providing a space for our community, including people with special needs and intellectual disabilities, to learn and work amongst their peers and receive help and support.
