Sokha talking to children on the dump The Founder Mech Sokha is himself, an orphan. He was the sole survivor in his family after The Khmer Rouge regime of 1975 - 1979. The years of The Khmer Rougue rule also prevented Sokha from getting an education. After the overthrow of The Khmer Rougue, Sokha began working at various jobs and educating himself by studying at night. By the early 90’s, he was working as a driver with a small Japanese NGO based in Phnom Penh. The organisation received a visit from a Japanese woman, Ms. Osanai Mieko, who befriended Sokha. He used to drive her around during her stay and told her of his plans and aspirations, so she agreed to sponsor his education in the Philippines. Sokha studied child development and the management of NGO’s. He then returned to Cambodia. In the meantime, Ms. Osanai Mieko had organised financial support in Japan for Sokha’s dream of starting an orphanage for children living and workiing as garbage pickers on Phnom Penh’s rubbish dump. Finanally in October 2002, he was able to open The Centre for Children’s Happiness.
