PARTNERSHIP

Future collaborations with friends and allies.

“It would be a privilege for MyHeritage to assist your initiative to help adopted Cambodians find their birth families… and in particular your [Li-Da, the Founder’s] blood family and Mrs Soth her daughter.”
— Gilad Japhet, Founder & CEO, My Heritage

MyHeritage is the leading global discovery platform for exploring family history. As the most popular DNA test and family history service in Europe, MyHeritage DNA is home to one of the world's largest consumer DNA databases, with 5.4 million customers. Trusted by 100 million users, MyHeritage seeks to enable everyone to discover who they are and where they come from.

In September 2020, Li-Da Kruger, our co-founder, contacted Gilad Japhet, the founder and CEO of MyHeritage. She sent him the story of her search for her birth parents, including the link to the TV documentary she created in the spring of 2020 when she visited Cambodia with her adoptive mother. Gilad responded immediately and donated a very generous number of DNA tests to our project. This gift helped us launch our NGO at high speed: by early October, the Reconnecting Cambodia’s first office DNACambodia was registered as an official NGO in the Netherlands.  

MyHeritage also contributed company resources to help produce some materials to spread awareness of our project and promote it, including a brochure and a video describing how DNA testing works in Khmer. We are very grateful to them and look forward to moving forward together on future collaborations.
