SHE Transition HOME
Safety and housing in Cambodia for girls over 16 years of age who have been trafficked or exploited.
GIRLS in our Care
The SHE Transition Home, located in Phnom Penh, is a semi-independent safe haven for girls 16+ who are in need of greater opportunities to build for their future. The home is established for girls who have come through our SHE Rescue Home and/or girls who are at-risk and need a safe place to stay in the city while they attend school or work.
One of the greatest risks to being trafficked is lack of education, or having a safe place to live while obtaining an education. The transition home allows girls the chance to be properly resourced to receive education and vocational training that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to, due to geographical and financial barriers. It is a safe place where vulnerabilities are replaced with opportunities for hope, and girls have room to grow into healthy, self-sustaining women!
Support we provide
In dormitory-style supervised accommodation, the SHE Transition Home offers a place for girls to live semi-independently— handling their own cooking, washing, and personal schedule. Each girl pays a very small amount of rent every month, in order to teach them budget and life management skills for their future. Keeping their rent payment small, allows the girls to be prepared financially for when they move out of the SHE Transition Home.
Social workers and counsellors are very involved in the girls' lives within the home. The girls have weekly counselling sessions and the social workers are consistently making sure that the SHE Transition Home is genuinely the best place for them to be. The girls are always surrounded by support people who love and invest in them.
How you can help
The SHE Transition Home is such an integral part of the IT'S NOT OK Projects and the fight against injustice. It's how we can ensure the lives of survivors of sexual exploitation are truly transformed, allowing them to become trail blazers in the eradication of human trafficking!
You can help support the girls in our SHE transition home, by donating. We use these funds to help support these girls through their education or vocational journey.
