The CCF was founded to aid the most impoverished of Cambodia's children. Their plight is among the worst in the world. Cambodia's recent history has been tragic, with the loss of an estimated 2 ½ million lives (nearly 1/3 of the population) during Pol Pot's brutal reign in the 1970's, foreign incursions and civil war. Millions of land mines remain active today and are spread throughout the country.
