GIVE TO OUR PROJECTS
Education
The greatest threat to being trafficked in our world today is lack of education; education disrupts cycles of poverty and provides opportunity for more.

Restoration
We focus on holistic healing of the mind, body, and soul. All funds help bring healing to young survivors living in our SHE Rescue Home.
+ See More General Medical needs
Debt is a great risk to trafficking and exploitation throughout Cambodia and it creates great vulnerability amongst families and communities. The greatest contributor to debt is the need for medical care families cannot afford, which oftentimes leaves them with no choice but to rely on high interest loans that are impossible to pay back and rob hope from the family altogether. This level of vulnerability is often what traffickers pry upon, positioning unjust corruption as hope and a way out of what feels hopeless. For these reasons, we work diligently to assist all families we work with with proper medical care, and work hard to complete all necessary paperwork and processes when free medical care could be available to families. Our goal is not only to provide access to proper medical care, but to prevent vulnerability altogether by ensuring families can remain financially sustainable and avoid debt. Unfortunately in some cases, the medical care required for an individual is more severe or on-going, and rather than a one time fee, a family is coping with an illness that will require longterm care or monthly medication that will demand consistent funding. In order to close cases, we work to ensure a means of providing for themselves and financial sustainability is visible, and in such cases when longterm medical support is required we need a means of ensuring the family has access to assistance if need be, to avoid the vulnerability of debt. For this reason, we’re working to build an on-going medical fund comprised of our supporters stepping out and saying “Yes” to ensuring families are not faced with medical demands they cannot afford that would lead to dangerous debt. We’re working to fill this fund with $2,600 to start, which right now will help with Dara’s mothers medication required for her mental illness, Cheng’s monthly medication for her skin disease so this young girl may have a normal life, for expenses related to pregancy for some of our girls and their families, and will allow us to have access to fund as other issues arise amongst our survivors, at-risk girls, and families we’re supporting. On behalf of all of us, thank you for saying “yes” and stepping out to do more for the life of the one! We’re better together, and together we are changing lives.

During the Khmer Rouge, more than 20,000 teachers were killed; this meant at the end of the 1970s, the literacy rate in Cambodia dropped and only 40% of the population could read and write. This left the education level in Cambodia being one of the lowest in the world. However, it has been encouraging over the years to see so many more college graduates coming through with degrees. To further increase and build upon this education it is vital that our SHE staff continue to attend training and development to provide high-quality services. Attending training not only benefits those that attend, but they come back and share what they have learned with the rest of the staff. What the staff benefit from, will benefit the girls too. We are always looking at upskilling our case management team (counsellors, social workers and house mothers) – our frontline staff, to help them make decisions that will mean better recovery for the girls. Previously our team have attended the following training: – HR Management – Financial Management – Tax and government compliance – Child Development – Self Care – Parenting skills – Trauma-informed therapy – Management and leadership Our budget for this year’s staff development is $1500 Could you help us give them the gift of higher education and training? Education is just one of the switches that help us light up dark places and allows our response to those in pain to be deeper and more fitting. Help us make education and high-quality care possible today.
Reintegration
We work with families of survivors to replace vulnerabilities lending to trafficking with opportunities for hope, such as vocational training & safe employment.
+ See more reintegration needs
The goal for the SHE Rescue Home is always for the girls in our care to be safely reintegrated to their family. There are many factors that are considered before a girl can go home. To assist in ensuring their safety we provide reintegration packs that include: Phone and credit, Bicycle, Bicycle pump, Water filter , Photo album full of photo’s of their time in the Home, General school supplies, hygiene supplies, mosquito nets, travel costs for going home and a jewellery gift. The total cost of the pack is $550
+ See more safe accomodation needs
One of the greatest risks to being trafficked is lack of education or not having a safe place to live when the family home is not close to the work or educational opportunities The SHE Transition Home will provide girls, from the SHE Home or partner organisations that are aged 16 and over and whose families live in the provinces, safe and affordable accommodation in the city. It will be a safe place to live in the city while they attend school or work. In dormitory-style accommodations, we will offer a place for girls to live independently, handling their own cooking, washing, and schedule. They will have weekly access to a social worker and a dormitory supervisor is available daily for assistance with any challenges. We will soon be reintegrating some girls in the SHE Home to the Transition Home so they can continue their education in the city. The girls will be given a weekly allowance to cover all their expenses – food, transport and daily living. We would love to give you the opportunity to sponsor one of these girls for $300 a month and be part of her solution where vulnerabilities are replaced with opportunities for hope, and she will have room to grow into a healthy, independent woman!
Urgent Needs
Safe transport. Safe girls — $5,800
One of our bikes is no longer safe to ride. Our staff use motorbikes daily to transport girls to medical appointments, schools, and essential errands. A breakdown isn't just inconvenient, it puts lives at risk.
The bike costs $5,800, a one-time investment that will serve the girls at SHE Home for years to come.

Cool air. Calm healing — $1,220
Our current air conditioner has broken multiple times. We have paid for repairs again and again. In Cambodia's brutal heat, a functioning aircon is not a luxury for the girls who sleep, study, and heal in this home — it is essential.
The cost to address this need is $1,220, a one-time investment that will serve the girls at SHE Home for years to come.

Eyes open. Girls protected — $1,500
The safety of our girls depends on us being able to see what is happening on our property at all times. Our current system is inadequate. 16 new cameras will give us full coverage and real peace of mind.

Secure data. Protected futures— $1,550

Wheels turning. Lives moving forward."— $1,650

Education. The ultimate rescue — $7,000

Roots growing. Home thriving — $3,300
Reliable electricity and clean water access are the foundation of a stable home. We are also wanted to add a small chicken project, which provides both nutrition and a gentle life-skills program for this family of a girl in the SHE Rescue Home. This is home, in the fullest sense.
The cost to address this need is $3,300 — a one-time investment that will serve this family and prepare her home for reintegration.

Solid ground. Real dignity — $4,750
One of our girls needs land filled before construction is viable for a new home. We need to build a toilet block for the family as well. Dignity in basics. That's what this is about.

Families leave their homes in the provinces and head to opportunities in the city. More factories, more construction, more jobs, higher wages are the small margins that add up to just enough. It’s enough to keep children fed and grandparents housed. Parents send money home. They make phone calls. They accept the distance and call it love, because that is what it is.
