OUR MISSION

Empower genocide survivors and their descendants in the quest to find lost family members. We harness the groundbreaking potential of DNA testing to strengthen community bonds and encourage healing.

The Reconnecting Cambodia Project

Starting in the 1970s, Cambodia was plunged into a devastating conflict. War, genocide, poverty and adoption ripped families apart, and the chaos left in the wake of the political upheaval made it extremely difficult for these families to find each other, even decades later. 

In a world enriched by connection, the Reconnecting Cambodia project is a family tracing service, supporting the nation’s ongoing recovery and healing from the past.

Our commitment extends beyond just locating loved ones—we offer free DNA testing, resources, support and safeguarding services to assist families throughout their journey.

By helping to expand the Cambodian DNA pool on global commercial databases, we dramatically enhance the likelihood of finding close relative matches, weaving a vibrant tapestry of connection and hope for generations to come.
