Our Last Newsletter:

Last year we issued a desperate plea for help to keep the doors open at CCPCR's Rescue Shelter in Phnom Penh , which at the time was home to23 young girls rescued from human trafficking, violence and abuse. As a result of kind and generous donations, 2011 was an amazing year for us, not to forget our other projects that have been on-going so - THANK YOU!!

Did you know?  There are an estimated 30,000 child commercial sex workers in Cambodia

A little bit about us ....      

CCPCR was founded in 1994, we are one of the oldest NGOs fighting for children's rights in Cambodia . Doors opened to our first shelter in 1995, in Phnom Penh and 16 years later we are still working hard towards a world in which children have equal rights and are free from all forms of violence. We use this experience we have gained over the years and together with partnering organizations have a mission to eliminate abuse against children in Cambodia , including child labor, trafficking, sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation.

Some achievements from our shelter in Phnom Pennh in the last year:

  • 112 cases were rehabilitated in our shelter
  • A security guard, sewing teacher, reintegration officer, nurse and new shelter manager were hired.
  • Supported 2 girls who graduated from high school to attend university!
  • Provided counseling to 33 survivors families (as well as survivors themselves)
  • Supported 68 cases to be reintegrated back into society
  • Paid for 73 survivors to visit their families during the holidays
  • We extended the lease on the property for another three year

The Cambodia government recently issued standard requirements for all shelters, this means that our costs will increase with double the number of girls, double  property rent, coupled with the rise in local food prices, and major improvements needed we need $105,000 to sustain operations for 2012. This breaks down to $175 per child per month (based on accommodating 50 children).
