Welcome to Cambodia, Kampong Speu and SSF

4/15/12

Kampong Speu province has the largest palm tree plantations in Cambodia. Speu is star fruit in Khmer.

Facts and Figures

In Asia, 12% of the total child population are engaged in child labour, 40% of young women were married before 18 (child marriage) and 48% have permissive attitudes towards domestic violence. Child trafficking is also an issue across the region and is commanding the attention of various 4/15/12 organizations in all

Facts and Figures (Cont)

The situation in Cambodia is particularly bleak. The countrys incidences of sex slavery are unacceptably high; it is estimated that there are close to 80,000 to 100,000 sex slaves and prostitutes in the country. In other words, one in 150 people are sex slaves or prostitutes.

Facts and Figures (Cont)

As we move into 2011, Cambodia remains a major receiving, sending and transit country for human trafficking, both for sex and labour. A recent UNAIP report indicates that poverty, socio-economic imbalances between rural areas and urban centers, increased tourism, and lack of employment, education and safe migration are all contributing factors to trafficking in Cambodia. The desperation to survive and the lengths people are forced to go to create a global imperative for action, as trafficking is one of the most abhorrent forms of abuse. 4/15/12

Facts and Figures (Cont)

The 2007 national Consensus Building Workshop on Cambodias HIV Estimates estimated that there are approximately 3,800 children living with HIV in Cambodia. With 1.1% of pregnant women living with HIV, and without interventions to prevent mother-to-child transmission, an estimated 1,547 babies are born with HIV each year. There are currently no available estimates for the number of children affected by HIV.

A 2006 World Bank/ILO report states that nearly 1.5 million Cambodian children aged 7 to 4/15/12 17 were engaged in child

Facts and Figures (Cont)

Using 2004 population projection figures, it is estimated that there were 553,000 orphans living in households in 2005, in addition to the approximately 6,121 living in orphanages.

Some provinces, notably Kampong Cham, Siem Reap, Prey Veng, Kampong Thom, and Kampong Speu have a high number of orphans and low impact mitigation coverage. These provinces could be considered as priority provinces for service delivery scale-up. 4/15/12

Sao Sarys Mission

Sao Sary Foundation takes a proactive approach to protect children from any form of violence, exploitation and abuse. Ideally, rather than waiting until its too late, SSF identifies at-risk children and provides protection and assistance to them and their families. We work in response to the needs of individuals and communities through two 4/15/12 interlinked programs: Child

Why Kampong Speu?

Kampong Speu is situated west and south of Phnom Penh, with the provincial capital of Chbar Mon city less than one hours drive from Phnom Penh. National Highway 4 bisects it, connecting Phnom Penh to the coastal resort of Sihanoukville. The highway has one lane on each side but is currently being expanded to two lanes on each side. There are few other paved roads in the province, outside Chbar Mon city. As of 2008 the population was about 750,000 people, with about 43% under 18 years of age and more than one in seven families headed by a single mother (15%). The provinces total land area is 653,396 ha of which less than one-third is used for farming. Almost all households (94%) list rice farming as their primary source of food and income. The number of farmers using mixed farming techniques is too small to be accounted for in statistics. Because farmers are reliant on rain, they have only one crop per year. (Only 154 hectares of farmland has access to irrigation.) Yields average 1.8 tons per hectare (among the lowest in the region) and about half of all farming households (51%) have less than 1 ha of farmland. About 6% of households are landless. 4/15/12 Landlessness is increasing and plot sizes decreasing

Why Kampong Speu (Cont)?

Poverty: The government has not yet extended its poverty identification program, which identifies two classes of poverty (ID Poor 1, and ID Poor 2) to Kampong Speu so it is difficult to gauge the depths of poverty in the province. Moreover, because the identification cards for ID Poor 1 & 2 have yet to be issued, those who would qualify are ineligible for the free medical services they would be entitled to. Poverty rates, based on reports from commune councils, vary according to district (there are 8) but have been falling from 2006. The rates are at their most extreme in western districts, where up to 44% of all households 4/15/12 fall below the poverty line of about 50 US cents a day.

Why Kampong Speu (Cont)?

Health: The province has 31 public health clinics (about 1 for every 24,200 people), but four times as many private pharmacies, which dispense medicines without prescriptions are staffed, almost exclusively, by untrained pharmacists. Clerks often dispense medicines by asking customers what their symptoms are and then comparing them with the labels on pharmaceutical products, which are sometimes fake and often improperly stored, according to health NGOs. Maternal and infant mortality rates have fallen dramatically since 2006, but still remain among the highest in the region (excluding Myanmar).
Background Image: Eye infections are a common ailment during the dry season when the ponds and streams many villages rely on shrink into brackish pools to be shared with cattle. Parents rely on lime juice to treat the 4/15/12 infection.

Why Kampong Speu (Cont)?

Education The ratio of students (6 11) to teachers averages 34:1 province wide, and 39-1 for those aged 12 to 14. However, the ratio is as high as 100 students (aged 12-14) per teacher in one district (Aoral). The ratio of secondary students per classroom ranges from 55 (in the provincial capital) to 130 per class room in Aoral district. About 17% of all schools have no access to water and about 12% have no toilets. About one-fifth of all classrooms have dirt floor and about one-third do not have libraries. Parents also report that at some schools absenteeism is a bigger problem among teachers than it is with students.

School registration rates decline as children age, with 23% of those 15 to 17 years old no longer attending school. (These figures, however, can be misleading as the registration rates do not necessarily mean the students are attending school.) The illiteracy rate is calculated at 6% for those aged 15 to 60, though doubts have been expressed about how literacy is measured. 4/15/12

Why Kampong Speu (Cont)?

Water and Sanitation The number of people per wells (year-round wells) ranges from 46 to 111, according to the district. Almost half of all people, 48%, obtain drinking water from unsafe sources. The percentage rises during the dry season, to 73% in one district. Just 8% of families have access to water filters, while 44 percent report boiling water before drinking it. Province-wide the ratio of people to latrines is showing significant rises, from 43.6 per latrine in 2006 to 29.1 in 2008. However, the rates in some districts remain far above the national average: in 5 of the 8 districts the rate is above 30 to 1, and above 80 to 1 in Basedth 4/15/12 district.

Why Kampong Speu (Cont)?

Migration & Trafficking The province has a high rate of work related migration, with about 12% of residents leaving to find seasonal or year round work. The provinces proximity to Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, draws men from villages to construction sites, and women to garment factories and entertainment venues. Both Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh have a high demand for sex workers, in brothels, karaoke bars, massage parlors and guesthouses. Kampong Speus proximity to the Cambodias financial and resort capitals makes its poorest residents highly vulnerable to trafficking networks, both formal and informal ones.

Child Protection Program Purpose and Impact

SSF uses the term child protection to refer to preventing and responding to violence, exploitation and abuse against children-including commercial sexual exploitation, trafficking, child labour and harmful traditional practices, such as child marriage. SSFs child protection programs also target children who are uniquely vulnerable to these abuses, such as when living without parental care, in conflict with the law and etc.. SSF uses a holistic and child rights-based process of assessment, taking into account each familys unique situation in determining how at-risk children are

Leadership
The assassination of Mr. Sao Sary, Vichetr Uons father, in 1998 he was responsible for sparked the creating of Sao Sary Foundation. Soon after that, Vichetr was supported by his Australian foster brother that enabled him to go to university. From there, he went on to work in various International NGOs for almost a decade, the most prominent being Church World Service. Following the footsteps of his father, Vichetr Uons next step was to create this foundation to put an end on human trafficking, violence, exploitation and abuse against women, children and vulnerable people. His works have been well documented and recognized by numerous international mediums due to its widespread and effective reach of vulnerable and poor communities in Kampong Speu. His efforts were documented by the BBC and recently, he was chosen as a young leader to represent Cambodia in the 4/15/12 Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit 2010.
