What did DARA Europe achieve?
DARA Europe is since March 14, 2012 an official registered NGO in the Netherlands. However, since 2009, the initiators have been involved with the support of children in Cambodia. As a private initiative, funds were raised to support the kids in Andong and lots has been achieved since. In 2010 we started offering practical support, always with structural goals in mind. Since 2011 collaboration with other (international) partners started to take of and together we ensure that we create a big difference in the life of these kids.
In 2012, major structural changes took place. The private support in the Netherlands converted into an officially charity: DARA Europe. Also in Cambodia we started looking for a better and safer living environment for children. A new location for the emergency residential care center has been accompanied by the registration of a new NGO: Stellar Child Care Organization (SCCO) and some of the children we've known and supported for years moved to the new residential care center. Since 2014 our activities focused back on Andong again, with the start of our education program, followed by the sewing center and family support programs.
