Disability support

Through our extensive work in Cambodia, we became aware of the need for children and families living with the challenges faced with a 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, able-bodied, as well as intellectually and physically challenged people, can work side by side, we are breaking down the barriers and creating work opportunities and acceptance within the community.

By employing trained, local people at our community centre who 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 additional needs for many years. Breaking down barriers is not new to us. We are determined to make a better life for all Cambodians.

Our disability support program gives our clients free access to essential resources, including educational workshops, vocational training, and therapeutic services tailored to their needs. We focus on fostering independence and self-confidence while equipping individuals with the skills necessary to engage meaningfully within the community. Additionally, we offer counselling and family support programs to ensure that not only the individuals with disabilities but their loved ones also have the guidance and resources needed to navigate the challenges they face.

To further support our clients, our outreach efforts include regular home visits conducted by our dedicated support workers. These visits provide personalized assistance, allowing us to better understand the unique needs of each family in their own environment. Our support workers often serve as a crucial bridge, connecting families with the resources and services they require while offering encouragement and practical guidance. Through these initiatives, we aim to empower individuals, promote inclusivity, and cultivate a community that embraces diversity and celebrates the abilities of all its members.
