In the charity's own words

Helping Hand Cambodia enables people to sponsor children from the slums of Phnom Penh, Cambodia to go to a good school and get a good education and therefore move on in life and out of the slums. A good education is the only way out of the slums for these children and by offering them this opportunity to take their future in their own hands.
