The orphans in Cambodia, born with HIV, were once the children no one wanted. Now New Hope (N.H.C.C.) is providing love and care for these children.

In the Year 2000 not one orphanage would accept a HIV positive child in Cambodia.  The children were simply discarded into the streets by the hospitals and left to die.  Two wonderful people, John and Kathy Tucker decided to do something to help these children.

They established a home care project in 2001 for orphaned children living with relations and eight group homes for children who’s extended families were not in a position to care for them.  By early 2006 they were caring for 288 children.  The antiretroviral medicine costs USD23.00 per month, per child.  Accommodation, food, education, personal needs etc are all on top of this expense.

In 2005 ex US President, Bill Clinton was so impressed by their work he agreed for his Foundation to fund the entire cost of  the children’s medicine.  In 2006 The Australia Cambodia Foundation Inc. joined forces with New Hope by accepting HIV positive children and offering support for the New Hope children.  ACF recently funded a new pre school and new clinic for New Hope.
