Student Dormitories

New Life Foundation was founded in 1994 to respond to the urgent need to rebuild Cambodia’s war-torn nation and equip Cambodians to have a hope-filled future.

New Life Foundation is the community outreach arm of New Life Fellowship Cambodia in cities and provinces. New Life Foundation, hand-in-hand with the New Life Fellowship, exists to plan a large New Testament Church in Phnom Penh, which will positively influence every sector of Cambodian society: Religion, Education, Politics, Social Relationships, Business, Sports, and Communication.

It will be a model and resource center for planting churches in every province of Cambodia with the same philosophy and biblical foundation. It will also send Cambodians as missionaries to other countries.  Over 20,000 people have been ministered to through New Life Fellowship’s various initiatives since 1994.

New Life’s track record since 1994 has been that of being a catalyst for genuine life transformation and a steward of God-given opportunities and resources. It has operated with intentionality to focus on the maximum eternal impact. New Life Fellowship has also strongly committed to being a great resource center and model for Cambodia’s larger Body of Christ.

New Life Foundation has been recognized by the Cambodian government and Christian and secular groups in Cambodia. It has also been recognized abroad as having a profound grassroots impact on Cambodian society.

The vision and opportunities provided by New Life Foundation continue to be of utmost relevance to the needs of the Cambodian people.

Objectives

The objectives of purchasing a permanent facility for Student Dormitories are the following:

• Provide a safe place for young people to live.
• Provide an environment and development process for young people to have the foundational opportunities, soft skills, life skills, leadership skills, and mindsets for lasting success
• Provide a pathway for New Life Dormitories to be a leadership incubator for New Life’s continual growth, which will become the next generation leaders that influence the different sectors in Cambodia.

Need

Phnom Penh is a city of over two million people, and young people from underprivileged backgrounds are quickly drawn into lives of hopelessness, depression, addictions, and exploitation.

• Young men and women from the rural areas of Cambodia who want to further their educations and find employment often have no safe place to live in Phnom Penh and cannot move to Phnom Penh.
• Young people who have grown up in orphanages are required to move out on their own when they reach the age of 18. Having lived in an institution for most of their lives, they are ill-equipped and unprepared to live independently.
• Young people from the province partnering churches come to Phnom Penh to train and build capacity and return to extend their chur capacity.
