Working together we can make a difference for a Child's Life

Background

Whilst working in Cambodia with Tearfund in 2000-2005, Glenn and Siobhan Miles decided to use funds given to them by their churches in the UK and USA to provide support for small churches in Cambodia.

Kone Kmeng began its work in June 2005. But it really developed into a national NGO as a result of God's vision to Kone Kmeng’s Director later that fall, in which God clearly called him to direct this work through the vision statement above. It was registered with the Ministry of Interior of the Royal Government of Cambodia in 2007 to support churches with a heart to reach out to children in their communities. The intended projects are not large projects requiring major funding, but are small projects where small churches are already doing something but need further resources in capacity building and minor funding.

Vision Statement

"Churches throughout Cambodia responding to children at risk in their communities"

Our Mission

Increase the capacity of local churches to pro-actively respond to the needs of children and families in difficult circumstances and to foster unity among churches to address these issues.

Our Values

• We believe God places a high value on children and families
• We believe the church is the most important agency in transforming communities, including the lives of children at risk.
