Our Projects
Golden Futures currently runs three projects in Cambodia. We call these the support project, the long-term loans project, and the short-term loans project.
The long-term and short-term loans projects give the young people living in the orphanage the opportunity to borrow the money they need to follow their dreams. The support project gives them the information and skills they need to make them reality.
Here are some of the things we have achieved so far!
