Chenla works to save lives while creating lasting change in the public sector’s ability to provide high-quality pediatric health services in Cambodia.
about us
What we do
Chenla Children’s Healthcare works within the pediatric wards of the Cambodian government referral hospitals to greatly strengthen the government system’s ability to provide compassionate, high-quality care.
Utilizing existing government facilities, medication, supplies, and staff, combined with Chenla’s NGO resources, we provide compassionate international-standard medical care to children suffering from infectious disease, febrile illness, premature birth, and a broad range of other pediatric diseases.
Strengthening the social contract between the local community and the public healthcare system forms the foundation of what we do. We provide all services free of charge for poor patients and their families.
Currently working in Kratie, Mondulkiri, Stung Treng, and Ratanakiri, we seek to replicate to further areas where the needs are greatest.

Happy New Year from Cambodia
As we come to the end of this year 2025, and approach ten years since Chenla Children’s Healthcare was formed, we just want to say thank you to each of you who has helped us. This past year has brought a surge in preventable, but sometimes life threatening, measles in the provinces where we work and also an unexpected war with Thailand.
Since opening the new Kratie Pediatric Hospital in early 2025, the wards have been full. Your generosity has also allowed Chenla to begin work in Ratanakiri Province, Cambodia’s most remote and underserved region.
Thank you for believing in this work from the beginning and for helping carry it forward.
With sincere gratitude,
Bill, Lori, Chinda, and the Chenla Team
