Welcome

Hagar International is a Swiss-based Christian organization that is committed to individualized and long-term assistance to its beneficiaries, advocating the strategic use of the social enterprise model as a tool for social rehabilitation and economic empowerment. Hagar works with women and children from devastating backgrounds of violence, abuse and trafficking and supports them in their recovery, rehabilitation, job readiness and ultimately community reintegration.

Hagar International originated in Cambodia where it has been running social programs and social enterprises since 1994. In Cambodia, approximately 80% of our beneficiaries have been successfully reintegrated into the community (Hagar Cambodia data, 2007).

Beyond Cambodia

In light of its achievements, Hagar International is poised to launch its replication project. In stages, Hagar International will implement its model of social programs complemented by commercially viable business activities in five targeted countries namely Afghanistan, India, Lao, Nepal and Vietnam. Hagar International will introduce the innovative holistic 4R model as a working framework for NGOs and local government to increase / create capacity in providing recovery, rehabilitation, community reintegration, and job readiness programming.

In 2008, the first country of operations outside Cambodia was established in Kabul, Afghanistan.
