Support services, from medical care to emergency assistance

Daily life is a balancing act for struggling families in Cambodia, where living on the edge of the poverty line makes every emergency a threat to their survival. With limited government social services, many hardworking parents face impossible choices, often having to choose between their child’s education and their next meal. REACH’s Outreach Program provides a vital support system during times of desperate need, ensuring poverty does not push families into exploitative labour or child migration.

Our team acts as a lifeline, providing tailored solutions to the unique emergencies our families face. Rather than offering only temporary relief, we partner with families to navigate their most difficult burdens. We facilitate medical treatment for family members and support chronic medication needs for guardians, arrange hospital transport, and provide dental care for children in pain, ensuring that health remains a
priority, not a luxury.

Our impact goes beyond healthcare. We repair homes damaged by severe storms, provide rental assistance to families facing eviction, supply baby baskets for new mothers, and replace worn-out clothing and shoes for students. We are there to catch those who might otherwise fall through the cracks.

We believe knowledge is the key to long-term change. Our Outreach Program hosts regular community workshops that address important social issues, including healthy eating, diversity, compassionate parenting, and identity.

These workshops, alongside family planning advice and contraceptive services, empower parents to make informed decisions for their family’s future. By supporting guardians, we help create stable environments where every child has the opportunity to stay in school and succeed.

Our goal remains clear: to keep families together and keep kids in school. We don’t just manage crises; we work with families to prevent them.

Support Our Outreach Program

Behind every home repair and emergency medical visit is a family who needed help to stay together. We’re working towards our goal of AUD $40,000 to fully fund the Outreach Program this year, so that no family in Siem Reap has to face a crisis alone. By sponsoring our Outreach Program for just AUD $5,000 a year, you help support 25 families, giving them the care and support they need to stay together.

Rice Rewards Program

While our Outreach team handles emergencies, we know that long-term success starts with a full plate. When families struggle to put food on the table, children are often pulled out of school to help earn an income. To prevent this, we have created a partnership with our families: an incentive-based program that rewards high school attendance with essential food security.
