Nuon Phaly
Ms. Nuon Phaly, was one of millions of Cambodians ousted from their homes during the Pol Pot era (between 1975 and 1979) and forced to work in agrarian concentration camps under communist control. In 1984, she fled with her family to the site 2 refugee camp on the Thailand-Cambodia border. She spent nine years at the camp where she saw many women suffering from war induced depression. She co-founded the Khmer People Depression Relief (KPDR) with her husband Hem Soeurn in 1987, providing assistance to victims still suffering from post-traumatic stress.

In 1993, Ms. Phaly was repatriated back to Cambodia, supported by a grant from UNHCR for her voyage home with 91 orphans and four widows in her care. The orphanage was first located to an area behind the Chinese Embassy before finally moving to a rural location on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. Not long after, FLOW registered as a non-governmental organization. Ms. Phaly was awarded the Figaro Prize from France in 1994 as well as the Ramon Magsaysay Award (Asia's equivalent of the Nobel Prize) from the Philippines in 1998 for her efforts in helping orphans in Cambodia.

Starting from 1993, after the FLOW orphanage has built, the amount of children victimized by war are increasing more and more every day to hundreds children staying at FLOW.
