I. Message from the Executive Director

On behalf of the SSF team I am pleased to present the annual report for the 2008 fiscal year, whichcovers September 01, 2007 to August 31, 2008. It is the first time that SSF has produced an annualreport since the foundation was established in 2006. SSF has been speeding up the rate it works at byfocusing on the impact the program has had on the lives of absolute poor families and especially thechildren in these families. These at-risk and in-need children are the new Cambodian generation andwith proper education and better consultation from qualified organizations and otherinstitutions/agencies, these children will not fall into same track of their parents. These children will alsobe able to avoid all forms of violence, exploitation, abuse and discrimination that are common withinthe poor and lowly educated as well as undeveloped communities.In the 2008 fiscal year, the ongoing work of SSF would not be possible without the incrediblegenerosity of the organizations and individual donors who give us so much support andencouragement. Their donations and support have helped SSF to protect over 135 children (67% ofwhich are girls) who have or had a high risk for being trafficked through its Child Protection Programwhich includes Child Educational Sponsorship and Cerebral Palsy Projects. Additionally, 30% of theirparents or guardians were selected and supported through various cottage industries such as groceryselling, cupcake making, vegetable garden without chemical fertilizer promotion, animal and poultryraising and etc. SSF and its donors

(see acknowledgements section)

have a veryhigh commitment to ensuring that high riskchildren, their parents and their brothersand sisters will never face any forms ofviolence, exploitation, discrimination andabuse against, including commercial sexualexploitation, trafficking, child labor and childmarriage. This includes commercial sexualexploitation, trafficking, child labor and childmarriage. Their contributions continue toturn problems into opportunities, andpromises into action and we are trulygrateful.

Sincerely Yours,

Vichetr Uon,Executive Director/Founder
