Sineit's story

SINEIT SEES A BRIGHTER FUTURE

What does Christmas look like when you’re isolated, stigmatised and alone with a newborn?


In Cambodia, Sineit was four months pregnant when she fled her abusive husband. She had no hope for a brighter future—but hope lived in the church down the road.


Sineit walked into her local church and was welcomed with open arms. Now, she attends classes, receives home visits and connects with other mums in her community. 

"My only hope is that God will bless my children to have a bright future," she says.

This Christmas, your move of compassion can help mums like Sineit see a brighter future.

“When I see what Compassion did, I moved from hopelessness to hope and being a hope giver. Jesus changed me to change others. He transformed me to transform others.”

“I wanted so much to do more for the children and their families, but I didn’t have the resources and manpower. It was only after we partnered with Compassion that we were able to grow and reach more children. Our church is overflowing with people who want to experience God’s love.”

“When Erick eats at the centre, I don’t worry if there’s only rice at home. I know he’s getting food that helps him grow strong. Sometimes he comes home smelling like stewed chicken and potatoes, and I just breathe it in and thank God, because that smell means my son is being cared for.”

“To tell [my sponsored children] how much I loved them and how much God loved them was so special. Compassion allows me to shift my focus not just what on what God is doing in my life but on what God can do through me to change the lives of children, families and communities around the world.”

“I love going to the centre. My favourite activity is colouring and the Karen language class. I learn a lot about the stories in the Bible. I enjoyed how the teachers at the centre teach us. And I want to be a teacher like them when I grow up and come back to teach children in my village.”
