LOVE IN ACTION is a work based in Phnom Pehn, Cambodia. Love in Action runs three orphanages in Phnom Pehn with seventy children in total and one home in Srey Reing a small province town near the Vietnam border. Our Home in Srey Reing is a home for young men that  attend the local university. These young men cannot afford to travel from their province village areas so our home accomodation for them allows them to study without the pressure of travel. We also assist them with food.  

From the Srey Reing base we also have a team house where we take the teams that come for short periods of time and we run medical clinics for the poorer province people.

LIA is a non-government organization with all funds being given by sponsorship or donation. It is a tax deductible work within Australia and the USA.                                       Ruth Golder is the founder and director of Love In Action. Ruth has worked in third world countries for 25 years.

We prefer to call our orphanages Love in Action (LIA) family homes, as we want to create the atmosphere of a family home for the children. They are homes where the children are loved, supported and cared for as a family.
Our children thrive under such a safe enviroment.

Many children of Cambodia are sold into prostitution, child labour, abuse, abandoned and orphaned at a young age. We want to be a part of saving as many of these children as possible from such a destructive lifestyle. The children are educated in Khmer private schools where applicable in their own culture and given extra tuition in the English language and social etiquette at home in Love in Action. As the children progress into early teenage years we start to see them trained toward the area of work they desire. We network with other organizations to gain work experience in areas of computers, mechanics, sewing, cooking, housekeeping and other areas of interest.

At Love in Action we build a happy, healthy and safe environment where children can be just that, children. Our children are given private schooling education, music and extra tutoring. This  gives them the greatest opportunities for work opportunities within Cambodia.                                           

Medical Clinics
Medical clinics are another arm of the work of Love in Action. This is our area of care to the community within areas of Cambodia. Many people die or are debilitated by such simple illnesses. If treated with appropriate medication in time, there is no reason why they should lose limbs, sight, hearing etc, and even die in some cases. At present we have three medical clinics at Srey Rieng where another LIA home is located.

We run these clinics when teams come and visit our LIA work where we provide medical aid for a variety of ailments as well as distribute vitamins. More serious cases are assessed by a Khmer doctor then sent to a hospital. Basic medical care and cleanliness is most necessary in many situations.
Love in Action is a part of building a future and hope for the people of Cambodia
