Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia
The Cambodian Association of Greater Philadelphia, Inc. (CAGP) is a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) agency founded in 1979. CAGP provides direct service and advocacy, empowering them to obtain equal access to quality education, development, and health care.
Philadelphia is a city with the fourth largest Cambodian population in the U.S., estimated at 18,000. Persecution by the Khmer Rouge during the mid-1970s resulted in forced immigration for a majority of the Cambodian population. Thus, Cambodians residing in Philadelphia are economically disadvantaged with limited linguistic access to healthcare and social services.
CAGP stands on four core principles that derives from its acronym:
Community - Everyone (Cambodians & Non-Cambodians)
Action - Make it happen through programs & services, advocacy and education
Growth - Progress, moving towards achieving our mission & vision
Potential - Realization of our vision & unlimited possibilities
