Our Passion – HAGSD-Cambodia
At HAGSD-Cambodia, our passion is rooted in love, justice, and dignity for all people—especially the most vulnerable. We are driven by the unwavering belief that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, nurturing environment with access to education, health, opportunity, and hope. Our passion is to serve, to uplift, and to build a more compassionate, resilient Cambodia through sustainable, community-led development.
Our vision is a just, inclusive, and poverty-free Cambodia, where every individual—regardless of age, ability, gender, or background—has the opportunity to thrive in dignity, safety, and hope. We envision strong, self-reliant communities that nurture children, support families, and work together to create sustainable futures for the next generation.
Our mission is to empower vulnerable children, families, and communities by providing access to quality education, health care, livelihood opportunities, and holistic development services. We are committed to promoting human dignity, advancing social justice, and responding to urgent humanitarian needs through a community-based, faith-driven approach.
The purpose of HAGSD-Cambodia is to be a catalyst for sustainable change—to bring hope where there is despair, opportunity where there is poverty, and restoration where there is brokenness. We serve to bridge the gap between need and possibility, between struggle and transformation. Our purpose is to walk alongside the marginalized and help them reclaim their rights, identity, and future.
