Project Summary

“You Are Not Alone” (YANA) is a regional project addressing the risks of migration, human trafficking, and exploitation in the Asia-Pacific region (including Philippines, Indonesia, Nepal, and Cambodia, as well as migrants in South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Malaysia).

Led by the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) and Asia Pacific Mission for Migrants (APMM), the initiative supports migrant communities through citizen journalism, awareness raising, and digital platforms for care, information, and solidarity.

The Lutheran Hope Cambodia Organization (LHCO) became an APMM member on May 27, 2025, receiving a small grant to implement Year 2 of the YANA project in Battambang Province. In 2026, LHCO continues contributing to increased awareness, communication, and support for vulnerable migrant communities.
