Prison Ministry

Since 1996, YWAM has ministered in the Stung Treng prison. There are currently over 300 prisoners, including women, and humanitarian aid is given to improve living conditions, emphasize the high value of human life and the possibility of change for the better, and to prepare inmates for re-entry into society. 

Gratitude

Many prisoners have told us how important YWAM’s aid was to them while they were imprisoned.
