Project Mission

Family Care Cambodia (FCC) is a non-profit, faith-based organization founded, directed by Alex and Ann Soldner, who arrived in Cambodia in 2002. They provide education opportunities, teacher, parenting and social worker training, Christian character building, trauma recovery and healing, creative arts, mentoring, inspiration and support to underprivileged children, youth and families in Phnom Penh, and the rural provinces of Cambodia.

Ruby International School

Early childhood education, access to technology, and bi-lingual training remain largely out of reach for most in rural Cambodia. As a result, many children struggle academically and drop out of school before completing 6th grade, to help their families with chores and field work instead.

In an effort to address this need, FCC helped to establish the Ruby International School; a community learning center in a village with over 200 families, in a province where only an estimated 10% of children enroll in secondary school.

Students come from the surrounding villages and are enrolled in daily preschool or English classes. FCC seek donors to sponsor students from the poorest families, and supplement teacher salaries. RIS serves as a base from which they reach out to the vulnerable and needy in the community.

Special Olympics Cambodia

Since 2007, they have partnered with the National Special Olympic Committee of Cambodia to host athletic competitions for intellectually challenged children and youth.

They organize the donation, delivery and distribution of free lunch, snacks and drinks for all participating children, care-givers and parents.

We also installed a professional soccer pitch, playground, volley ball court and boulez court at the RIS campus in Kampong Speu. These provide both our students and members of the local community, the only sports and recreational venue in the district.
