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, which
covers September 01, 2007 to August 31, 2008. It is the first time that SSF has produced an annual
report since the foundation was established in 2006. SSF has been speeding up the rate it works at by
focusing on the impact the program has had on the lives of absolute poor families and especially the
children in these families. These at-risk and in-need children are the new Cambodian generation and
with proper education and better consultation from qualified organizations and other
institutions/agencies, these children will not fall into same track of their parents. These children will also
be able to avoid all forms of violence, exploitation, abuse and discrimination that are common within
the 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 incredible
generosity of the organizations and individual donors who give us so much support and
encouragement. Their donations and support have helped SSF to protect over 135 children (67% of
which are girls) who have or had a high risk for being trafficked through its Child Protection Program
which includes Child Educational Sponsorship and Cerebral Palsy Projects. Additionally, 30% of their
parents or guardians were selected and supported through various cottage industries such as grocery
selling, cupcake making, vegetable garden without chemical fertilizer promotion, animal and poultry
raising and etc. SSF and its donors (see
acknowledgements section) have a very
high commitment to ensuring that high risk
children, their parents and their brothers
and sisters will never face any forms of
violence, exploitation, discrimination and
abuse against, including commercial sexual
exploitation, trafficking, child labor and child
marriage. This includes commercial sexual
exploitation, trafficking, child labor and child
marriage. Their contributions continue to
turn problems into opportunities, and
promises into action and we are truly
grateful.  

Sincerely Yours,

Vichetr Uon,
Executive Director/Founder

II. Who We Are:

The Sao Sary Foundation (SSF) is a nonreligious,

non-political, and independent humanitarian
organization devoted to ending human trafficking
and helping poor children and families gain
economic independence in impoverished
communities. SSF centers around our children;
thus, child sponsorship is our basic foundation.
SSF was founded in 2006 and officially recognized
by the national government of the Kingdom of
Cambodia as a non-profit organization in 2007.

III. Mission:

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.

IV. Background and History

Since recovering from decades of turmoil,

genocide, and civil war, Cambodia now faces
new challenges. Despite its recent economic
growth in the past few years, it still remains
one of the poorest countries in Asia. For the
poor, education, vocational training and
employment opportunities are insufficient to
provide the income to meet minimum needs.

This makes rural-to-urban and cross-border

migration by vulnerable families and individuals
common, as they move in search of economic
opportunities to survive. In the process, many
become victims of trafficking for sexual
exploitation, labor exploitation, begging, or
forced marriage.

Other factors such as gender-based discrimination, physical and sexual violence, family dysfunction,
impact of HIV/AIDS, and indebtedness also increase vulnerabilities to trafficking. Though some victims
is trafficked by strangers, many more are trafficked by someone they know, suggesting that family and
community members play a major role in trafficking.

Cambodia is a source and destination country for trafficked persons. Cambodian women and girls are
trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation to Thailand and Malaysia. Some Cambodian men who
migrate willingly to Thailand to work are subjected to conditions of forced labor in the Thai fishing,
construction, and agricultural industries. Women and girls are trafficked to Thailand for exploitative
labor, and some are forced into prostitution. Some Cambodian male migrant workers returning from
India, South Korea, and Malaysia reported being subjected to conditions of forced labor and debt
bondage.

Cambodian children are trafficked to Thailand and Vietnam to beg or work on the streets selling candy
or flowers or shining shoes. Some Cambodian women who migrated to Taiwan as the result of broken
international marriages were subsequently trafficked for prostitution. Sex trafficking of women and girls,
including ethnic Vietnamese, occurs within the country, from rural areas to the urban areas of Phnom
Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanouk Ville. Many of these individuals that are trafficked are never able to
return to their homes. Cambodia is also a destination for Vietnamese women and girls trafficked for
prostitution. It is a destination country for foreign child sex tourists, with increasing reports of Asian
men traveling to Cambodia in order to have sex with underage virgin girls. Source: Worldvision.org and
State.gov

V. WHERE WE WORK:

Currently SSF works in Kampong Speu province, one of the

three poorest provinces of Cambodia, as identified by the
Ministry of Planning in 2004. Kampong Speu is a highly at-risk
province where most inhabitants try to find seasonal work in
neighboring locations such as Phnom Penh, Sihanouk Ville, Koh
Kong province and Thailand, where they are often exploited and
work without pay. In Kampong Speu, education is not highly
valued, especially for girls around age 13. Parents often force
their young daughters to forge documents saying they are of
minimum working age for local factories in order to provide
financial support to their families.

"If [the NGOs] want to help me, they should also help my family.
Otherwise I can't quit,” remarked one girl victim of the sex trade.
Source: AFP

The mountainous province of Kampong Speu is

faced with other challenges as well. This
province rarely gets enough annual rainfall for
drinking water, let alone to water crops or raise
farm animals. In order to survive in times of
severe drought, people in Kampong Speu sell
their assets and what little personal property
they have in order to pay off their debts
incurred from borrowing money from money
lenders, in order to buy meager amounts of
water and rice. Water must be brought in from
neighboring villages, and oftentimes elderly
women get overcharged by those who bring
water back to the community, villagers in Kraing Hong village said.

Additionally, the people of Kampong Speu, specifically Kraing Hong village of Samrong Tong district,
suffer from severe political discrimination yet. This district, along with Kampong Speu very poor
province receives very little aid yet. Thus, it is up to few NGOs and other local groups to create
Page 5 of 29
positive, sustainable changes in the community. One of the future goals of SSF includes creating a
water-well for a community, so that members do not have to spend $.50 per day on water, at least ¼ of
their daily income.

VI. HOW WE WORK:

 
SSF works to achieve its mission by financially supporting two different programs, our Child Protection
and Livelihood programs. Our primary goal is to protect underprivileged children whose families fall into
the category of “extremely” poor, whose children are vulnerable to varying forms of violence,
exploitation, and abuse. This abuse includes commercial sexual exploitation, human trafficking, child
labor, and child marriage.

1. Child Protection:

The goal of this support program is first accomplished by funding at-risk children to stay in school or
funding the children to return to school. This funding provides for all of the clothing, books, fees, and
other expenses that the child’s family could not otherwise provide. In some cases, children are given a
place to live closer to the school, or a method of transportation to get to school, usually a bicycle. This
gives the child a safe place to stay as well as food and other basic needs that could not be met by their
family.
 
How SSF provides for children in the Child Protection Program:

Health – The objective is to improve and maintain

the overall physical and mental health of
sponsored children within the first 12 months of
sponsorship. Health assessments are conducted
immediately when a child has been selected for
the project. Additionally, every three months
children and their families are provided with
insecticide tablets. Monthly medical follow ups
are also conducted, along with a biannual full
medical checkup.

Education – SSF aims to provide access to basic

education to all sponsored children of school age by
enrolling them in public school as well as providing
bicycles for transportation to and from school if
necessary, schoolbooks and stationery, uniforms,
school fees, daily pocket money and food for lunch. In
addition, non-formal education for English and
computer literacy are supplemented into the children’s
curriculum to ensure sponsored children who study at a
secondary school acquire the skills and knowledge
necessary to be successful after finishing school.

Social Welfare – Sponsorship from SSF helps to

provide extracurricular activities for children in order to build their social knowledge and skills with
regards to: health awareness, social morals, human rights, human trafficking, labor laws, economic
planning (Action Plan and Budget), handmade crafts (artificial flowers, bead necklaces, bracelets, tooth
sticks, chopsticks, and paintings), vocational training skills (such as sewing, haircutting and dressing,
micro business management, social work, weaving, and agriculture [vegetable gardening, animal
rearing, organic fertilizing and composting, and organic pesticide use]).

For more information on how you can help support the Social Welfare services provided by our Child
Protection program, please view picture of some of our handicrafts at:
http://www.ssfcambodia.org/craft.php. All of our products are handmade by women household heads
and children as a part of our after school program in life-skills training session.

Shelter–We provide a basic shelter to all sponsored children. SSF does not maintain a separate
shelter for orphans and other vulnerable children, rather they all live, work, and study together. All
children stay in their homes or a guardian’s home within their own village or community if possible. If
this is not possible, orphaned or at-risk children, along with children who have no relatives or a suitable
foster guardian, come to live at an SSF shelter:

 Boys: SSF coordinates with Buddhist temples within the community to care for at-risk boys.
SSF provides technical assistance in the forms of child development and financial support for
these children at the temple. Currently, SSF has 10 orphans at the Champatep temple.

“Several Cambodian girls who agreed to be interviewed said they engage in sex work despite its
dangers because they cannot afford to quit. Clients take me to guesthouses. I get U.S. $10 per
night. They gang-rape me and beat me," another girl, 17, said. Source: AFP

 Girls: SSF hopes to establish a safe house for girls due to the increased number of sponsored
children, especially girls who study at secondary and high schools; however this shelter is
contingent upon the appropriate donations.

Income Generation – SSF encourages supported children and their guardians to build their own future
with poverty-breaking credit and small business development programs. These steps toward financial
independence allow SSF to help more families while allowing families to not be reliant on outside aid to
survive.

As a part of income generation, supported children

have had some success making handmade crafts
such as artificial flowers and beaded necklaces. This
past year, the flowers were sold in Cambodia and we
established a partnership with the organization Global
Playgrounds in the United States to sell these as well.
To further our efforts to create an income, SSF
trained interested children to create bead necklaces
that are now being sold through the organizations
Global Colors and the World Wish Campaign.
Furthermore, SSF children also received training as
to how to raise poultry to generate a sustainable
income.

who asked not to be named, said in an interview as she looked for business near the Suriya
Supermarket. Source: AFP

2. Livelihood:

SSF works to strengthen the economic stability of

families so that they can provide for their children. SSF
educates families about different methods they can
employ to become financially independent. We then
give startup money to families to begin running these
entrepreneurial programs. If the program succeeds,
SSF conducts weekly follow-ups in order to monitor
and mentor the family. Family consultations include
matters such as: growing plants without the use of
chemical fertilizers, composting, and further
entrepreneurial purchase on matters such as land,
poultry, and seeds. We also provide no-interest and
low-interest loans, depending on the family’s financial
position, so that these previously impoverished families
can expand their economic resources. These
consultations and no-interest loans prevent families
from sliding back into poverty by having to repay
money lenders who charge up to 10% daily interest
rates.
 
In addition to financial assistance, SSF also helps mentor farmers and other target families. We have
developed a new routine at SSF. This routine is a way for SSF to help target families keep from
repeating low-income generating activities and switch to new, unique and more financially sustainable
activities that can support their entire family. For example, this past year one family used to plant
morning glory, a vegetable crop, on one ridge and wait for its harvest before planting a new crop, rather
than successive plantings for continuous harvesting. Under SSF's new routine, this family will become
more productive through more frequent planting for daily harvesting.
 
 
This past year, SSF also helped poor villages, such as the Tonlab village, to mentor farmers on how
best to support their families and the community. We had great success in our educational efforts.
Farmers began to produce vegetables not only for personal consumption, but also a surplus to sell in
local markets. The produce provided a nutritional supplement to the families and children’s rice based
diet. Additionally, the money gained from selling the surplus vegetables provided a much-needed
income generating activity. Our organic farms in Tonlab are now the prototype to other surrounding
villages, proving a major success in providing nutrition and financial stability to needy families.
 
 
 
VII. INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES SUPPORTED THIS YEAR

[A] girl, 17, said, “Police arrest us in the hope that the brothel owners will pay, but if we don't have
anyone to pay for our release we will be sent to one of the nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). It's
o.k. to live at the NGOs, but then our families have nothing to eat," she said. Source: AFP
SSF works with many families and expands the number we support each year. These stories show the
dire straights that the children and their families are in when SSF finds them as well as some success
stories, revealing how SSF works and benefits its target group.

Theanin and Rithy

Theanin is 17 and is the second girl of eight in her

family that also has one brother. Her younger
sister, the third daughter, Rithy is 15 years old.
They were living with their mother in a temporary
hut built on the ground of a former commune hall
plot. Though the local authorities resettled her
family to this land, they quickly asked the family to
leave as soon as possible. Cambodian law allows
Cambodians to become the owner of land that
they have resettled on within about a five years
period without disputation. This law allows them to
automatically become the landlord once this time
period is up.

Rithy’s mother was an orphan and didn’t have time

to learn while she was young and living with her
neighbors. Without placing value on education she
did not enroll Theanin, Rithy and the other children
in primary school, even though the primary school
was close to their hut. The children were forced to accompany their mother and help her work to repay
the debt she and three other families incurred within their community. This debt is to money lenders
who loaned there family a small amount of cash and rice with 100% annual interest for nine years.
Since the family could not repay the debt they owed, totaling US $400, the mother stopped trying.

Rithy and Theanin's mother then became an alcoholic. This was spurred in part by debt and in part
because the father of her nine children had another family. He ignored their family while looking after
his first family. After the mother could not pay back her debt from moneylenders, Rithy was sold to
repay her mother’s remaining debt of US$150. The moneylender brought Rithy to sell in Phnom Penh,
and later, the second buyer sold her to a third family, three days before SSF staff brought one of its
funding partners, Global Colors, to visit this home.

Rithy was released from that family and now stays at the SSF compound waiting for any generous
donor who can help her to build a new life. Rithy needs funding for the following:

 Consultation with a professional psychologist to consult her mental health

 Non-formal education on Khmer literacy and mathematics
 English and computer literacy training
 Life-skills training and other vocational-skills training to ensure she can run a small business in
the future properly to survive by herself
 Affording her opportunities to participate in any social or recreational activities and other
extracurricular activities

To adequately provide for Rithy for the next two years SSF projects a total of budget US$ 2,382.60. We
are still seeking a financial pledge from any generous individual donor.

The budget is detailed below:

 Residential shelter rents $10 x 24 months= $240

 Electricity and water utilities $5 x 24 months= $120
 White rice and food accommodation and allowance $40 x 24 months= $960
 Clothes, hygiene materials and health care $10 x 24 months=$240
Page 9 of 29
  Domestic materials $9 x 24 months=$216
 Daily pocket money $10 x 24 months=$240
 Working capital assistance (business capital) $150
 Operation and administration costs (10%) $216.6
The trafficking of Rithy places Theanin at a high
likelihood of being trafficked herself. This is
compounded by the fact that someone has
already offered, and continues to offer, the
mother US $600 for Theanin. This amount
would allow the mother to build a new house.
Theanin also has to deal with the fact that she
has become the primary person to support the
family due to the mother’s alcoholism. To be
able to start a business and support the family,
as well as be educated, the two year profile for
Theanin is the same as that for Rithy. She will
need the same support as her sister plus US
$50 needed to repair a broken hand pump at the
family’s residence.

Srey Mao Family: Mother, 11 children

The mother and head of Srey Mao family was widowed

when her husband suffered from mental health
conditions. She was forced to sell all of her land to keep
her husband alive, but unfortunately could not.
“Everything died with my husband,” she remarked. To
aid their mother, two of her sons went to Thailand as
fishermen to work long hours without pay. They
continued to work in hopes of bringing their family some
food at the end of the season. However, while in
Thailand, her sons became victims. The Thai fishermen
hunted them both to kill them as sacrifices for the gods.
So after fleeing their fishing boat, the sons swam 2 km
along the shore to escape.

The mother, a skilled cupcake baker, continued to have

no money for appropriate equipment nor capital to start
her own business to feed her family. Thus, SSF began
supporting her family with US $46 which she used to
buy steam pots and other necessary equipment.

She produced cupcakes with her new business and sold

them to the neighborhood primary school children. She made around US $2 per day, which was
enough to buy white rice for her family. Her story would have been considered a success if it had not
been for the nationwide inflation that hit Cambodia this past August. Since then, the previous price for
rice, 1,000 riel per kilogram was raised to 3,500 riel/kg. She cannot charge more for her cupcakes,
however, because her clients are students which can barely afford their school fees, let alone pay more
for a midday cupcake.

As inflation subsides, she continues to sell her cupcakes. She was able to save US $100 last year,
enough money to buy an adequate home for herself and her children. SSF continues to support the
Srey Mao family, as all the girls are subject to human trafficking by the same neighbors who sold the
sons to work in Thailand.

Page 10 of 29
In the future she wants to raise another US $500 to finish building her home, which currently stands
without walls. She hopes to start a home garden to supplement her cupcake business. Additionally,
she hopes to begin raising poultry as another source of income.

Projected Budget:

See future work plan and tentative budget in section VII below.

Meas Pha Family: mother, 3 daughters, sons, grandchildren (11 household members)

The family’s father died of HIV leaving his

wife both unsure of her HIV status and in
charge of providing for the 11 member
household. This household includes two
daughters who were previously married.
When the men they married found out about
how poor the family was they quickly
divorced the daughters. This forced the
daughters and their children to move back
into the home. One of these daughters
previously held a job at a garment factory
but quit for her marriage and health
problems prevent her from returning to
work. Another daughter was drugged while
on a public bus and taken away. Luckily the
bus driver noticed something strange and
when the family came asking questions, he
was able to point them in the right direction
to find her. This incident has left the girl with
health problems but the family cannot afford
to see doctors or find anyway to fix them.

In the past year SSF has funded a duck

raising project for this family which has
allowed them to make US $50. Partially in exchange for the assistance with the ducks and partially
because of the mother looking at her own poor living condition, SSF convinced the mother to allow two
of her children, a boy and a girl, to return to school. SSF now fully sponsors these children.

Projected Budget:
See future work plan and tentative budget in section VII below.

Kong Thuk Family: mother, two daughters

Even though, a reliable count of the current

disabled population is not available, however,
it is generally accepted that Cambodia has
one of the highest rates of disability in the
world and that approximately 21% of the
disabled population are children. The most
common types of disability among children in
Cambodia are Polio, hearing and visual
problems and problems relating to the brain
such as Cerebral Palsy and emotional and
behavioral problems. Source: WorldEnable

There is a long history of discrimination against the

disabled in Cambodia. Most Cambodians believe that
a disabled person did something in his/her previous
life to deserve this condition, thus must be left alone to
suffer and wait until their next life. So is the case with
Kong Thuok’s daughter, Socheat. Socheat was born
with Cerebral Palsy, one of 400 cases throughout the
Kampong Speu province. Her mother is infected with
HIV, and her older sister has disowned the family,
leaving Socheat in charge of herself once her mother
passes away.

SSF is working with Socheat as a pilot project

throughout the Kampong Speu province to show the
community that people with Cerebral Palsy can indeed become independent members of society. SSF
supports visits from the physiotherapists who have helped restore some basic motor functions in
Socheat. Socheat can now sit up in her wheelchair
by herself. She can also speak and express herself,
which she formally could not.

Additionally, SSF has given Mrs. Kong Thuok three

grants of US $375 to begin and later to expand her
grocery selling business. Because grocery selling is
a hard business, we encourage her to enjoy her life
with her children and continue to support her. In
addition to paying for her much-needed goiter
operation, SSF continues to give Mrs. Kong Thuok
US $20 each month for transportation to Phom Penh
to get her HIV medications.

In the future we will continue to work with Socheat

so she can hopefully become the head of her family.

Projected Budget:
See future work plan and tentative budget in section VII below.

Phim Dy Family: Mother, Father, 3 Daughters, 3 Sons

When SSF first visited the Phim Dy family,

there were eight people living together in a
small house with a dirt floor and roof that
did not keep out water. There were no beds
and everyone was forced to sleep on a
muddy floor when it rained. None of the
children were in school. Instead they would
work seasonally wherever it was possible.
Because the father had an ongoing health
condition, the mother single-handedly
supported her entire family.

Seeing this in September 2006, SSF presented

the family the idea of growing morning glory, a
vegetable sold throughout Cambodian markets.
This popular culinary green vegetable was not
traditionally grown in the family’s village, thus
they were hesitant to begin such a garden. The
family was taught how to grow the morning
glory and given 5kg of morning glory seeds
which were planted on another family’s land
that allowed them to do so. The family was also
provided with bicycles so they could take the
morning glory to the market and sell it
themselves.

The morning glory business has flourished and the family now harvests and makes approximately US
$50 every two weeks. This has enabled the family not only to eat, but has also given them the ability to
save money. Because of the work done and the money saved, in November 2008 the family built a
new, larger house with an adequate roof.

 
Picture 1: (above) Mrs phim Dy and her old hut (left) and new house (right) with two year impact with supporting through SSF.

Two of the children, a boy and a girl, are currently back in school.

Since the older children have never been enrolled in school, they are not allowed to enroll at a regular
school, due to age limits for the grades they would have to enter. SSF is searching to find an informal
school that will accept them as students, in order to bridge their educational gap so they can attend
formal school.

Page 13 of 29
SSF also plans to help the family expand its morning glory business to include rice production. To do
this, however, the family will need more land. SSF also plans to teach the older daughters vocational
skills and give them capital to start businesses of their own.

In Sokly Family: mother, father, 5 children

When SSF found this family they were very poor.

They were living in a wall-less hut and had no land
or livelihood. None of the children were enrolled in
school. The family originally had six children but
one of the daughters passed away before SSF
became involved because the family could not
afford health care.

SSF first supported this family by teaching them

how to raise chickens. They then gave them US
$70 worth of chicken cages, roosters and hens.
They also sponsored two of the daughters. 

With this initial help, the family has become self-sufficient. They were able to purchase new land. When
the landowner of the land they were on found out that they were being helped by SSF he tried to sell
them the land they were on for an extremely high price. They sought advice from SSF who found them
land at a more reasonable price as well as loaned them money to build a new house on this land. They
have repaid the loan and bought such things as cows, an ox cart and a motorbike.
All of the children that are of school age are currently enrolled in school and this is funded by the
family. In the future SSF will continue to assist the family in making decision about financial matters.

Dy Phen Family: mother, 2 girls, 2 boys

Coming from an extremely poor family, Phalika has

seen many hardships in her life. Her father was a
human trafficker in the past, who worked for his
neighbor, selling workers from a commune to work
in Thailand. While working in Thailand, all of the
workers died at sea, except for Phalika’s father, a
very good swimmer, who now owed his boss
money for the lost workers. Phalika’s father stayed
in Thailand and contracted HIV while there, but
never told his family. When he returned home, he
got very sick with AIDS, and Phalika’s mother sold
everything to pay for his medications. He did not tell his wife until the day he died that he had AIDS.

Phalika and her family were exploited, working long hours without payment in order to pay off their
debt. Phalika’s brothers escaped, leaving her and her sister to take care of their mother who thought
she had AIDS. The other brothers drug and alcohol problems meant he could be of no help to the
family.

Page 14 of 29
Just before SSF intervened, Phalika and her sister were about to be sold to the money lenders to pay
off the family’s remaining debt. This family was previously discriminated against for being so poor, and
no one would help them get out of poverty.

In addition to saving Phalika and her sister from being sold, SSF also paid for Phalika’s mother to have
several blood tests to prove she was HIV negative. Previously Phalika’s mother would not eat or drink,
to save food for her children, because she was convinced she had HIV. After several blood tests, she
finally believed her results of being HIV negative.

SSF established an agreement with Phalika’s mother that she must let her daughters return to school
(her sister was forced to lie about her age and work in a garment factory) in exchange for SSF helping
the family gain economic stability. Phalika now regularly attends school and receives top marks.

In the future, SSF is helping the family to sponsor Phalika’s education, raise pigs and their own home
garden. Phalika’s mother is extremely willing to try new projects, and is so happy to be alive now that
she decisively knows she does not have HIV.

VIII. Projects and Programs

In addition to helping individual children and families, SSF works with the community as a whole. This
year SSF organized several projects and programs to address community needs. These include: our
Handicraft Project, Well Project, Community Building Project and Self-Help Groups, and our
Emergency Needs Program.

i. Handicraft Project

In addition to giving 40 children the training to make artificial flowers and bead necklaces, last year,
SSF offered 11 poor household heads similar opportunities. Artificial flowers were produced for Phnom
Penh markets while bead necklaces were produced for fund raising in the United States. Though this
project only survived 10 months out of the year due to inflation and lack of buyers, throughout this time,
the sales profits generated enough income to sustain these eleven families.

Unfortunately, this project could no longer be supported after inflation, because we could neither
increase the price of the flowers, nor could we ask the producers to make more than 70 flowers per
day.

ii. Well Project

Clean water is vital for healthy living. In

Cambodia’s rural areas however, people still
experience difficulties accessing this precious
fluid SSF helps people gain access to sanitary
drinking water by financially supporting a well-
ring construction every year 2006. This
program aims to help families in Chbar Mon
and Samrong Tong districts of the Kampong
Speu Province. By improving community
access to sources of safe drinking water, as
well as water for domestic use, their home
gardens and animals can thrive and provide a
viable economic source. Each beneficiary
contributed 25%-45% of the labor necessary to
build one well, and SSF contributed
approximately US$ 85-140 towards the cost of
materials purchased and transported to build
each well. During this past year, one open well
was constructed in Srae Kak Village increasing the number of open wells to two in two different
villages.

The wells were constructed using a participatory approach which required target families make a
financial or in-kind contribution, usually in the form of labor, towards construction of the well. While the
wells themselves were constructed on the property of one family, other families living near that area
have equal access. While most of absolute poor families were unable to make a financial contribution
towards construction of the well, they were able to volunteer their time by digging holes and placing
rings into the well.

Five households with approximately 25 household members (80% having underage children) live
around the installed open well in Srae Kak Village. Construction of the well was invaluable to these
families who said they now had time focus their efforts not just on gathering water for bathing and
drinking. Most importantly, children living near the well who previously assisted in water collection now
are able to attend school. Prior to the well, 70% of children in Srae Kak had to drop out of school
Page 16 of 29
because their parents needed them to help collect water and could not afford notebooks, uniforms, or a
means of transportation for their children. Additionally families were unable to provide their children
with daily pocket money that is used to pay teachers to cover printing costs and study material.

After consultation with SSF families living near this newly-acquired water source were able to create
home vegetable gardens around the well. This produce is now used for domestic consumption and the
surplus is sold to neighboring villages.

Assisting communities through our Well Projects, like we were able to do in Srae Kak village this past
year, was extremely successful. Families in the area were not only given sufficient water for human
and livestock, but more importantly they were also able to begin growing gardens in the area,
improving their financial situation and the environment.

iii. Community Building Project and Self-Help Groups

SSF realizes the economic disparity in the

impoverished communities with which we work,
and is committed to raising their standard of living.
Our Community Building Project was created with
intention the community becoming wholly involved
in order to raise the standard of living, create fair
access to education, and to foster economic
independence in Kampong Speu. Together, we
hope that the community can come out of poverty.
This would mean that children in Kampong Speu
could pursue education rather than be subject to
abuse, violence, child labor, child marriage and
human trafficking. The Community Building
Project was established with assistance from
SSF.

Overall Objectives:

•To mobilize available resources to use locally
rather than relying on external resources
•To form a Self- Help Group, bringing the
community together to discuss with each other
common problems affecting their lives such as
children’s education, health, environment,
agriculture, and animal health.
•To provide families with training on
organizational, financial and micro-business
management in order to generate income. We
also aim to encourage the responsible use of
savings through capital investments and
monthly saving. We will do this through
monthly meetings concerning household and
group planning for the future.
•To help impoverished families get loans both
in-kind and in cash, which most families are
currently unable to access. We aim to prevent
families from having to borrow from
moneylenders, who charge exorbitant interest
rates of 5-15% daily.
•To help families in the Self-Help Groups
improve the standard of living and strengthen
the capacity of members to generate an
income through a general or agricultural
business. With these income-generating
activities, Self-Help Groups can earn a viable
income and increase the groups’ internal
funds, eventually sustaining self-finance and
self-reliance.
•To provide families with clean water, access
to sanitation and good hygiene habits.

Page 17 of 29
Beneficiaries:

From 150-200 needy families in ten villages will directly benefit from this project. Three Self-Help
Groups in three villages with 50 poor families have already been formed.

Projected Budget:
See future work plan and tentative budget in section VII below.

iiv. Food House Project

Next year, SSF intends to establish the Food House Project to help rescue children from the street
whose diets come from collecting food scraps from rubbish dumps, garbage piles, and recycling bins
for daily consumption. SSF hopes to take in these children, oftentimes orphans and, after proper
counseling and rehabilitation, reintegrate these children back into society.

Overall Objectives:

• To meet the physical needs of the children by providing food, clothing, shelter, and proper hygienic
care, along with all other basic needs.
• To promote the mental well being of these children.
• To establish and operate a sponsorship scheme to provide these children with educational
opportunities.
• To empower children and their families with resources that will enable them to engage in income-
generating activities for self-reliant living.

• To offer career guidance and counseling services.

• To promote community-based health care among these children and their families.
• To establish vocational training programs to impart market-oriented skills.
• To provide extracurricular activities to these children in order to build their
social skills

Page 18 of 29
Expected Output:
The Food House Project is looking forward to supporting 20 street children with the purpose of
bringing hope to these children and improving their quality of life. Starting from providing adequate
food for these children, SSF will conduct extensive counseling, in hopes of reintroducing these
children back to society to lead normal lives.

Through this project, SSF expects that a food house will be established to provide a place where
street children, whose survival depends on collecting food that has been thrown away, can get food
to eat three times a day. SSF believes strongly in adequate nutrition for all children, and as these
children gain more energy and succeed in physical rehabilitation, other types of rehabilitation will be
possible. SSF also will provide clothing and other essentials for their daily needs.

Children from the streets, through the Food House Project, will have their health restored, as much
as possible, to normal. SSF hopes to motivate these children to improve their lives through
counseling and other social activities.

Through the Food House Project, children will be able to give up their life on the streets and return to
society with the skills necessary to meet their basic needs. The number of children who depend on
garbage bins for food in the Kampong Speu province will decrease. We hope to that with our
rehabilitation programs former street children, of the appropriate age, will attend school. Children
older than 18 years old will be provided with vocational skills training to ensure a better life for
themselves in the future.
These children’s parents, guardians, or foster parents will be given job consultation on a regular
basis to improve or start their own businesses or careers properly. At least half of these families will
receive financial grant support through Project Food House, with an initial grant support of US$150
to begin a viable business. Additionally, three SSF staff members, including a cook, cleaner, and
guard will be selected from children in the Project’s household members.

a. A New Information System

Moreover, an Information System will be developed and utilized for data collection, note taking, and
as a repository of the detailed progress of this project. Data and information collected will be
compiled for monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual reports as a requirement by SSF and our
donors who support this project.

Through our Information System we will be able to:

• See general data of individual children who are participating in the project,
• Review their family information and background
• Monitor the education of each child in the Food House Project and view their progress
• Access general information about medical assessments from a medical doctor. SSF will monitor the
health of each child from their first arrival to the center, and all other medical follow-ups and
consultations during their stay at the center
• Catalogue general information about the psychological assessments provided by a counselor upon
their first arrival to the center, as well as any follow-up and consultations
• Track any follow-up information, including information about new careers or business developments
from those who participated in Project Food House

Projected Budget:
See future work plan and tentative budget in section VII below.
