Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia and continues to struggle to recover from years of civil war and genocide.
While Cambodia presents significant opportunities for economic growth, social change, and innovation, many young Cambodians continue to face challenges that hinder their ability to create a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Youth are the key factor for social change as youth learn to change their attitudes, they can change their behaviors and habits, thereby impacting positive changes in society.
Youth For Peace ( YFP) believes in the power of youth to overcome the major problems facing Cambodian society for sustainable development and peace in the future.
YFP is one of the leading NGOs working on youth participation and reconciliation. It is one of the first organizations working on the establishment of a sustainable community-owned legacy of memory at local mass killing places in Cambodia since the start of the proceeding at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), YFP has been actively involved in breaking the silence of the Khmer Rouge regime and moving towards a reconciled society through workshops, intergenerational dialogues, arts, field trips, memory sketches, forum theatre, producing films, radio talk shows, research and documents, conferences, film screenings, and preventing local mass killing sites.
Our programs actively engage youth, victims, survivors, and civil parties, fostering meaningful participation in the process of remembrance and healing.
