Pour un Sourire d'Enfant (PSE) is a French humanitarian association founded in 1995 by Christian and Marie-France des Pallières. It works in Cambodia to lift the country's poorest children and their families out of extreme poverty. Its approach covers the full range of children's needs, from early childhood care, nutrition, protection and health to schooling and vocational training, with the aim of helping young people find qualified, decently paid work. The association runs a school and training centre in Phnom Penh, where its students also operate a training restaurant and beauty salon. Its activities extend to Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. The association is based in Suresnes, France, relies mainly on volunteers and sponsorship by regular donors, and states that it keeps overheads low. It has a sponsorship scheme, offers volunteering and internships in Cambodia, and reports on its finances annually.
