Butterfly Paradise Orphanage

Butterfly Paradise Orphanage (formerly Wat Preah Yesu Children’s Home) was founded in 2003. During the height of the AIDS epidemic in Cambodia, children were being orphaned and stigmatized. The majority of existing orphanages were not set up to accept HIV+ children. Butterfly Paradise Orphanage was created to meet this need, taking children from around the country. The close proxaimity to the Angkor Hospital for Children, in Siem Reap town, which offers an HIV care program for children, meant that children at Butterfly Paradise Orphanage would not only get a loving home environment to live in but also quality medical care.

At its peak, Butterfly Paradise Orphanage was home to 196 children. Children with disabilities, abandoned children and children at risk are also accepted into the orphanage. Although most have grown up and left, 24 children and young people remain.

Children at the Butterfly Paradise orphanage are educated at Adventist International School Siem Reap. The orphanage and school are on the same compound as Butterfly Paradise and is closed to the public to protect the privacy of the children.
