Director of Your Life Matters
Drawing on our many years of experience working with Kaleb e.V. in Cambodia, I am delighted that, through the localization of the project under the name Your Life Matters, we are able to continue standing beside children, young people, and families in their most challenging moments. Having witnessed firsthand how consistent care, guidance, and encouragement can transform lives, we remain committed to supporting individuals on their journey toward growth, resilience, and hope.
Our work extends beyond addressing immediate needs. We are dedicated to creating an environment where healthy development, life skills, and professional opportunities can flourish, and where services genuinely respond to the realities of those we support.
While a significant portion of our work focuses on providing long-term support to former clients, we are increasingly offering project-based and one-off assistance to others in need, ensuring that our resources bring meaningful and positive changes to people in rural areas where poverty is most severe.
We envision Your Life Matters as a place where every individual feels supported, valued, and empowered — a space where they can discover their strengths, grow with confidence, and contribute to a better society. Together with our partners, donors, and communities, we will continue working to create lasting opportunities, strengthen resilience, and foster brighter futures for all those we serve.
Best Regards,
Heang Khaylay

Cambodia has endured immense trauma, particularly during the violent Pol Pot period, and the effects of this history are still deeply felt today. Helping people move forward and build better lives is both possible and rewarding, though not always easy. At Your Life Matters, we approach this work with dedication, patience, and genuine care. Our commitment is grounded in love and respect for the Cambodian people, and we are inspired every day by their resilience, courage, and hope.
As the advisor of Your Life Matters, I strive to provide guidance, encouragement, and support to the team, helping ensure that our programs are effective, compassionate, and responsive to the real needs of children, young people, and families. I do this from Germany through weekly Teams meetings, phone calls, and messages via WhatsApp. I also work to ensure that good practices are maintained, particularly in areas such as child protection and financial management. It is a privilege to contribute to this mission, and I am inspired every day by the commitment of our staff and the perseverance of those we serve.
