Mother's Heart was started to respond to the lack of choices women have when they face an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy and because there were no other organisations working in this area. We walk along side women offering non-judgemental support and counselling. Cambodia has no social system to assist these women and their families.
We are the first crisis pregnancy service in Cambodia, beginning in Dec 2010, with a small team of dedicated people.
When a woman finds herself pregnant, regardless of the circumstances she is often shunned rejected by her family and left alone with little means of support. Many single women facing a crisis pregnancy not only experience gender disparity in society’s rejection of them, but her pregnancy is often the result of gender based violence such as sexual assault or trafficking. Whilst it is vital to provide immediate services to women experiencing a crisis pregnancy. Mother’s Heart also recognizes that it is equally important to address the underlying social attitudes towards women and tackle the stigma and ostracism they face.
