Cambodia is a beautiful tropical country with an exotic culture—but it is a country still recovering from the murderous reign of Pol Pot from 1975-1979. During this period, nearly 25% of the population were murdered by their own government in what historians have called an “auto-genocide.” The Khmer Rouge swept to power promising a utopian society based on communist equality. However, almost immediately after they seized power, Cambodia descended into a hell on earth—marked by work camps, torture, starvation and wholesale murder.
By 1979, when Pol Pot was toppled, Cambodia was in ruins. Nearly every family had lost someone to the Killing Fields. The economy was devastated, hunger was rampant, and everyone with an education had been murdered. Poverty and illiteracy remain widespread to this day. And when people are desperate, many social evils emerge such as sex trafficking, crime and political corruption.
Esther’s House—
a Refuge for Young Girls

A Legendary Partnership!
Poverty, dysfunctional families and spiritual darkness all contribute to rampant exploitation of young girls. Harmony helps bring girls from unspeakable backgrounds into the loving care of Esther’s House, where they are loved, provided an education, and taught about Jesus. What was intended for evil in their lives becomes the Romans 8:28 catalyst for a life-changing experience where many meet Jesus and are healed—on every level.
A large part of our fight against trafficking involves prosecution of sex-offenders. Many offenders have been successfully prosecuted in Cambodia and in the U.S.
