Families requiring a Sponsor
Hout Family
Father: Ni Hout
Daughter: Gontia Hout
Ni was a soldier in the military. He had an accident which left him a quadriplegic and caused permanent damage to one hand. Unable to work or care for himself, his teenage daughter, Gontia, took on the role of fulltime carer to her father. It is a role she has carried out diligently, without complaint or thoughts of the sacrifice she has made.
Ni recently had to undergo surgery to remove a large cyst and stone in his kidney. He is now recovering at one of CCT’s homes, while Gontia has a chance to participate in literacy classes. Once Ni has made a full recovery CCT will assist him and Gontia to find a home, in Battambang, where Ni is close to medical care and provide them with support to enable Gontia to begin some vocational training.

Uot Family
Kim sustained a landmine injury during the Khmer Rouge regime. The explosion caused him to lose his right hand and the severe shrapnel wounds to his face left him blind in both eyes. He has a partner named Siet, who is also blind, and three children.
Kim supported his family by begging with Sokhom, a 16 year old girl left in his care as a baby when both her parents died of AIDS. Every day, Sokhom would lead Kim around the markets by an old scarf. Kim would play a little handheld drum tucked under his arm while Sokhom held a bucket to collect money.
CCT is helping Kim and Siet find suitable work, and is providing Kim with a guide dog so he can get around without Sokhom. Sokhom will join our older girls at the Teen Transition House where she will study Khmer and English literature and begin vocational training. CCT will cover the family’s basic living costs until they are able to support themselves.
