All students that are welcomed to Marist Solidarity Cambodia have disabilities, here they find that their lives are not defined by their disabilities and so can live as normal young people and develop their individual talents and personalities. They are also able to build up a resilience to cope with being disabled in the wider society.

Giving children and young people with a disability a sense of their own value as individuals and as members of their family and community; a sense of purpose; a sense of the many possibilities that could be before them, and the means to live life in a meaningful way is the essence of what we strive for in the “LaValla Project”.
