PROTECTION CENTERS

OBJECTIVE

Ensure a stable environment for the child, also by giving him access to education, in order to enable him to integrate into society.

PROJECT

For those who are orphans or cannot be reintegrated into their families, the protection centers provide protecting environment to the child while still being open to the community. The children are housed, fed and listened to; they take part in the daily life of the center and attend the public school like other children.

Whenever possible, family bonds are maintained and encouraged. Assessments of the family situation of children are regularly conducted. If a significant improvement is noted and there are no risks for the children, they leave the center and are reunited with their close relatives.

ACTIVITIES

Enrollment in public school
Psychological support
Sociability and respect of a Cambodian way of life
Awareness of hygiene rules
Family reintegration

TESTIMONY
Sokhim, 21 years old, welcomed in protection center

Before being referred to the protection center, Sokhim and her sisters lived in the streets of Phnom Penh with their mother, who could no longer support them, following the death of their father.

Read her story

After a few months at the temporary center of Psar depot, they all joined the Siem Reap protection center, the situation of her mother not allowing the siblings to live by her side. “My arrival at the center changed a lot for me. First of all, I regained weight and made a lot of friends; before that, me and my sisters felt pretty alone. Here we can share our concerns with the other children, we support each other. Also, the staff is very nice to us, and we have plenty of activities. But above all, I was able to go to school at last; back in the days my mother could not afford to pay our tuition. Even if I am a few years late, next year, I should get my graduation diploma. I would like to meet the academic counselor of Krousar Thmey because I would like to study marketing. ”
