SSF was created to improve the quality of life for families living in extreme destitution in Cambodia. SSF aims to develop educational support programs for children who run a high risk for being trafficked. SSF helps these children by protecting them from all forms of violence, exploitation and abuse including: commercial sexual exploitation, trafficking, child labor and child marriage. Our team is also committed to provide emergency support to extremely poor communities in rural Cambodia to reduce drop-out rates from public schools and to assist families in becoming economically self-sufficient through switching those target families from repeating low-income generating activities to unique and more financially sustainable activities. This economic independence will enable families more productive through more frequent planting for daily harvesting to provide for their own children entire family without the need to place them in orphanages, force them to quit school to work or, in extreme cases, traffic them.
