Book Release and Much More
Recently, ACCI partnered with our ABLE Program to create a beautiful video of one of our families. We hope Navy’s story inspires you. Her family – and many like them – are the reason we love our work.
We are also excited to announce the release of Where They Belong, a book about CIF and family-based care. Coming globally July 9th & in Cambodia mid-June!
Introduction to the book “Where They Belong by Erin Foley”
In 1992, as the communists trickled out of Cambodia, Dale and Cathleen Jones found themselves thrust into running an orphanage full of children separated from their families, orphaned, or abandoned due to poverty and civil war. In learning to navigate culture, corruption, and the care of hundreds of children, they realized that institutions were no substitute for a family and that family is the God-created structure for protecting vulnerable children and holding communities together.
Journey with the Joneses, Ming Anny, and many others as they find a better way to care for orphaned and vulnerable children through the founding and continued efforts of Children In Families (CIF). Find out what makes Cambodian culture and families perfect for loving children well. And learn how, internationally, children and communities do much better with family-based care than orphanages and children’s homes.
It is hard for a toddler who has to watch life pass her by. But everything changed for Navy when she received hope through a new leg. Click on the photo to watch her video.
Coming to your bookshelf July 9, 2024!

Partnerships & Cuddly Toys
Recently, the Somerset Norodom Phnom Penh ASCOTT raised money and awareness for CIF. Through their Teddy Bears sale, they donated significantly to Children in Families, directly supporting the well-being and development of children within our care. This act of kindness demonstrates a true commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Thank you for your continued support of the work of CIF. Enjoy the below photos of Cubby & our staff retreat.
Sincerely,
Erin & The CIF Team

Children in Families (CIF) is a local Christian non-profit working across the Kingdom of Cambodia to place vulnerable children in loving families. Through foster care, kinship care, emergency care, domestic adoption, and family-strengthening outreach, CIF works so that every child can grow up known, safe, and loved within a family, not an institution.
