CCF Founder Scott Neeson spent 26 years in the film industry. He eventually served as President of 20th Century Fox International, where he managed revenues in excess of $1.5 billion and oversaw the release and marketing of several blockbuster films, including Braveheart, Titanic, Star Wars, and X-Men. After a trip to Cambodia, he left his Hollywood career, sold everything, and moved to Phnom Penh to set up CCF in 2004. 

CCF transforms the country's most impoverished kids into tomorrow's leaders by delivering education, family support, and community development programs into the heart of Cambodia’s most impoverished communities. CCF believes that with the right education and support, one child can lift an entire family out of poverty, and that a generation of educated children can change a whole society. Today, more than 1,800 children are working towards a better life for themselves and their families with CCF support.

Prominent English language media outlets such as Phnom Penh Post, Khmer Times, Kiripost and CIR (Cambodian Investment Review) covered our press conference as did Khmer language media outlets such Post Khmer & Morodok News. Huge exposure from the 5 TV stations that joined including BTV News, CNC News, TV8, MYTV and AMS Sports TV.

"HFCA has been an outstanding partner to CCF, enriching the lives of our children through football for 17 years. Their programs provide not only the joy of playing competitively but also the chance to participate in international sports events, opening doors to new opportunities and experiences. This new MoU will carry the relationship to 20 years"Scott Neeson, Founder Cambodian Children’s Fund

HFCA are honoured to announce our MOU partnership extension with CCF (Cambodian Children’s Fund). Having first started our journey together in 2009 this new agreement will extend the working relationship to 2029.
