20 Years of Hope: Jennifer

Posted on November 30, 2023

We first learned of little Jennifer during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. Schools in Cambodia were shut down then, and LWB began doing Emergency Food Relief to help families in many poor, rural areas of Cambodia. During these deliveries, our staff met Jennifer’s mother, Elva, who was struggling to provide for eight small children. Their […]

20 Years of Hope: Rena and Her Brothers

Posted on October 19, 2023

Ten-year-old Rena was worried. She’d been left in charge of her three little brothers for over a week while her mom went searching for work. They’d been sleeping along the Cambodian border on public land, after fleeing to escape domestic violence. Their meager food supplies had been out for days. Rena knew she had to […]

Almost immediately after she was born, tiny Joy was whisked away from her mother to undergo emergency surgery for a life-threatening intestinal condition.

20 Years of Hope: Jackie

Posted on July 27, 2023

Teenage Jackie had been suffering from a heart defect her entire life. She had been diagnosed with a large ASD (atrial septal defect), a hole in her heart that should have been repaired when she was much younger.

Little Raven was born in India in April 2020.

Doctors discovered a hole (a ventricular septal defect, or VSD) in Raven’s heart but reassured the […]

Megan is from one of the rural villages where we work in Cambodia. When Love Without Boundaries first set up projects along the border region with Thailand in 2016, she became part of our high school education program.

Life at the Landfill: A Conversation with Amy Eldridge

Posted on April 22, 2023

Our CEO, Amy Eldridge, recently returned from visiting our programs in India and Cambodia. She had the opportunity to visit not only our school programs but also the landfill where over 78 of our students live and work in an environment most of us can barely imagine. Can you tell us about the situation on […]

20 Years of Hope: Leona

Posted on April 20, 2023

Leona grew up in a very poor family, living on the edge of a large city dump site where her family would work each day searching for recyclables to sell. She first entered our “Catch Up Class,” a primary school designed to get impoverished children who had missed schooling into the education system at a […]

Hope for Children at the Landfill: Annalise

This week, we are raising funds to provide hope and education to 78 impoverished children living at a rural landfill site in Cambodia. During the COVID pandemic in Cambodia, Annalise’s family lost employment and had no income at all. They made the move to the local dump site to try to earn enough money to […]
