Resilient families make for strong local communities
We know that resilient nuclear families is the best foundation for a sustainable development both within the family and outwardly in the local community. Therefore, we focus first and foremost on school and education as well as provide for self-sufficiency projects, both of which contribute to such a development. We also see basic nutrition and hygiene as important for children and young people to promote their normal development, resiliency and dignity.
We facilitate for strengthened local communities through gatherings and events in local community centers, various sustainability projects that benefit the citizens as well as support for improvements, or new construction of private stilt houses (traditional Cambodian small houses).
We strengthen and work closely with local house churches out in the local communities so that they can convey God's love in word and deed!
DIRECT
We connect people directly without costly structures and unnecessary intermediaries.
EFFECTIVE
We deliver and lift people quickly and purposefully through individually adapted developmental processes.
SUSTAINABLE
We focus on solutions that are
sustainable and empowering, giving people dignity and the opportunity to provide for themselves.
PARTNERSHIP
We collaborate with and support relevant, local expertise and capacity to the greatest extent possible.
Our purpose
The purpose of the Stilt House is to drive effective, direct and sustainable development among the poor in Cambodia and thereby convey God's love in word and action.
The resource base comes primarily from gifts and other contributions made in Norway, Europe and the United States, but also local gifts and sustainability projects in Cambodia.
Our ministry builds on more than
30 years of service.
