Out of the ashes of Cambodia's wars and genocide, a new generation of Cambodians is emerging, full of hope and energy. However, conditions are still very harsh and extreme poverty is widespread. Opportunities are increasing, but are still limited.

The Cambodian Children's Painting Project (CCPP) is a Cambodian registered non-governmental and non-profit organisation committed to the objective of providing a cultural and social platform for the beach children of Sihanoukville. Our aim is to give the children a creative perspective, a safe environment and a positive chance to develop their imagination and skills through artistic painting as the core activity, and through the sale of their paintings to generate some basic income for themselves and for their family needs. Further, we aim to connect artistic expression to general education, and to help them pursue their regular schooling.
