About Us
Our Founder
Sok Sabay, an NGO set up in Cambodia by French nurse Marie Cammal since 1995. Having worked in as a nurse in 1981 at a UN refugee camp on the Thai-Kampuchea border, Marie developed a love for helping those in need. Since then, Marie has established a private shelter for desperately poor and defenceless children in need of healthcare, education and tender loving care.
Our history
Sok Sabay is a French non-profit association created in 1995, apolitical and non-religious. We are helping children in situations of abuse, abandon, torture, neglect and all kinds of child exploitation in Cambodia and Laos.
Our mission
Sok Sabay means "happiness" in Khmer. This motto is the very basis of our approach and our mission for more than 20 years.
