About Us
Our Vision
We envision a Cambodia where every returnee is welcomed, supported, and empowered to become a self-reliant, constructive member of society.
Our Mission
The Khmer Vulnerability Aid Organization is a non-governmental humanitarian agency that facilitates the reintegration of former refugees admitted to the United States who are now being deported to Cambodia because of past convictions. We provide arrival orientation, cultural coaching, informal counseling, documentation assistance, job search assistance, temporary housing, legal monitoring, field outreach, basic medical referrals, and conflict-resolution/mediation services to help clients become self-reliant, constructive members of society.
Our Belief
We believe the past is a place you visit, not a prison you live in. At Khmer Vulnerability Aid Organization, every scar is a story, every story is worth rewriting. We give the so-called “forgotten” the tools, training, and support they need to turn yesterday’s worst chapter into tomorrow’s comeback. Second chances aren’t rare here—they’re routine
