About KhmerHealth
Our Story
KhmerHealth was created by Alfonso Tiu, a high school student with a deep passion for science, health, and serving his Khmer community. Seeing that bilingual, culturally relevant health resources were nearly impossible to find online, Alfonso set out to build something that would genuinely help Khmer families access the health information they need — in the language they speak at home. This project was built with technical assistance from his father, Alphonse Tiu, who shares his belief that a young person's commitment to community can make a real difference. KhmerHealth is Alfonso's ongoing effort to be part of the solution — long before medical school, and hopefully long after.
Our Mission
KhmerHealth is a nonprofit committed to improving health outcomes in the Khmer community through culturally relevant, bilingual education. We bridge language and cultural barriers so every community member can access the health information they deserve. Health knowledge is power — and every person in our community deserves it in the language they speak at home.
Our Vision
A healthy, informed Khmer community where no one is left behind due to language or cultural barriers. We believe that access to clear, trustworthy health information is a right, not a privilege.
Our Team
KhmerHealth was founded by community members who believe every Khmer family deserves health information in their own language. We are actively seeking partnerships with Khmer-speaking healthcare professionals, community health workers, and civic organizations to grow this resource together. If that's you — or if your organization would like to link to khmerhealth.org and connect your community to free bilingual health resources — we'd love to hear from you.
