Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. Sao Sary Foundation has been serving the poorest children, their families, and communities for 16 years now. So far, 8,400 Cambodian poorest families have directly impacted our family sponsorships. 

SSF recognized that providing families with the support and skills to become self-sufficient reduces the likelihood that they will withdraw their children from school and send them to work. This is why family sponsorship is the appropriate intervention in some cases. In each case, the goal of family sponsorship is to ensure that by the second year the parents, parent or grandparent is able to support the family through a micro business or other income-generating activity.

What SSF does is help the family draft and implement a business plan and a household development plan, through financial training and coaching. In these cases, families make the transition from subsistence day labor or farming to year-round employment that allows them to save for the future or invest in their business or farms.

We provide initial grants of $75 to $1,250 in start-up capital. Once the business proves viable additional support is sometimes given to expand or upgrade services. In general, SSF does not provide cash to families directly, but helps draft a plan and then delivers the goods necessary to start a business. This is followed by technical support an weekly visits that create an channel for open discussion about the challenges and opportunities posed by a new business. Annual evaluations and audits are made so that both the family and SSF can measure the outcome of the project.

Family sponsorship is $40 per month, about $1.30 a day. This provides the family with access to clean water, nutritious food, vital health care, and improved housing. The funding also includes training and financial support for family business development. The number of families receiving sponsorship has risen from 10 in the previous reporting period to 8,400 currently. Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/family-sponsorship to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new  to sign up as a fundraiser for. 

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. A poor family has at least three school-age children that they have to allocate at least $111 US dollars per child per year for having a bicycle, school uniforms, footwear, school bag, study materials and school supplies in addition to $192 US dollars as daily pocket money allocation while they can’t afford to cover all ongoing costs.

Cambodia has achieved a remarkably high net enrollment ratio (NER) for primary school (95%), although the NER falls precipitously for lower secondary (32%). Despite improvements in recent years in the areas of access and quality of education in Cambodia, dropout is still an issue.

Sao Sary Foundation has three types of sponsorship to the children: full, educational and partial. These go to children and youths who have been, or face the highest risk of being, trafficked or abused. Usually, they live in slum areas in the provincial capital or in villages where there are high rates of food insecurity and indebtedness. Village leaders and residents often assist our field staff in identifying those most at risk of trafficking. This process allows SSF to strengthen relations with communities and involves them in the process or reducing the risk of trafficking and exploitation. A risk assessment is made by our Child Protection team prior to selecting children for sponsorship. This involves discussions with family members as well as the child. Sponsored children and their families also sign a contract that clarifies in detail what they will receive and what is expected of them. Regular follow-up visits (sometimes weekly) are scheduled to ensure the family and child has the support they need to reach their goals.

Over the past year we have fine-tuned our sponsorship program to make it more flexible to sponsors as well as individuals and communities. The number children and youths receiving sponsorships increased from 45 in the last reporting period to 138 early this year. Our sponsors include individuals and groups from around the globe, and we encourage contact between them and the children and families they assist. We have three types of sponsorship: full, educational and partial.

Full sponsorships ($100 per month):

Full sponsorships ($100 per month): The number of children and youths receiving full sponsorships has risen to 56. These sponsorships cover all living and educational expenses as well as pocket money for children and youths who live at the Protection Center. Funding also helps support their biological or adoptive families whom we partner with and our Protection and Learning centers. Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/sponsor-a-child to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new to sign up as a fundraiser for. 

Partial sponsorships ($35 per month):

SSF introduced partial sponsorships (for children and youths who live with their families) in 2006. These sponsorships allow the children and youths to remain in school, and include financial support for school fees and materials as well as food. Almost all of these, 86, go to girls.

Educational sponsorships ($18 per month):

Educational sponsorships (financial support for school fees and materials, including bicycles) have increased to 8400 this year. These sponsorships are making education possible for 8400 children who face a high risk of any form of child labour, trafficking and abuse. Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/sponsor-a-child to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new to sign up as a fundraiser for. 

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. With a total population of 16.4 million, at least 12.6 million live in Cambodia’s rural areas, and have limited or poor access to clean water. In 2017, over 9.2 million have access to an improved water supply, but only 1 million rural households had piped water supply. While over half of these 1 million rural households have access to improved sanitation, the other half still practice open defecation.

In response to water, hygiene and sanitation issues in Cambodia, Sao Sary Foundation’s Major Accomplishments from 2006 – 2019 are the followings;

1. 2,700 biosand filters were distributed,
2. 43 new hand pump wells were built,
3. Four broken hand pump wells were upgraded, 
4. 200 pit latrines were assisted to build, 
5. 54 first aid kits were distributed to village leaders and local authorities after learning First Aid Course from us, 
6.  6,651 hygiene kits were distributed to 6,651 schoolchildren who learnt with us how to wash their hands effectively through Singaporean handwash standard, 
7.  497 femine hygiene kits were distributed to 497 female teenagers who studied femine hygiene practice from Singaporean Nurses,
8. A communal Hall and two health centers were built and refurbished   

The SSF signature program aimed to provide 88,500 villagers in Cambodia with convenient access to clean drinking water through the installation of bio-sand filters (BSFs), borehole wells and latrines.  The multi-sectorial program increased the capacity of communities to adopt improved health and hygiene practices through basic hygiene training, feminine hygiene training and first aid training.  Improved healthcare services and facilities are also facilitated through the construction of a community hall and refurbishment of two health centres.

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. Sao Sary Foundation has been assisting Cambodian poorest children, their families, and community for 16 years now. Our mission from 2006 – 2019 has impacted directly to 88,000 Cambodians already and we are looking toward assisting another 7,2000 members who reside in 54 villages of three communes in one district of Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia for our next mission 2019 – 2029. 

Each village in Cambodia has a village hall where villagers gather for public celebrations or occasion meetings. The commune council election or national election is also conducted there too. Sao Sary Foundation has identified 54 new villages and we are fundraising $30,000 US dollars to construct one village hall. You can either fund us or help us fundraise to have brand new village halls in those 54 villages.

With financial support from various sources, especially individuals around the world, we could assist Khtum Kraing Commune to build a commune police station as planned. As we see the advantages of doing such good deeds, we are either fundraising or recruiting fundraisers to afford 41 more police stations. You can help the Sao Sary Foundation as well as its target beneficiaries to have an official building for the first time ever in their commune.

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. To build a public service building like the Police Station, we have to allocate the budget $37,000 US dollars. Make a donation now for a Police Station under your name now.

With financial support from Ngee Ann City through Singapore International Foundation, two health centers in Kampong Speu Province were refurbished. 30,000 direct beneficiaries were impacted. You can help us to extend our mission for refurbishment of other health centers that need most or even to build new ones. It helps a lot to have a health center for every two communes in Cambodia.

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities.  To respond to the greatest need, we need to fundraise for building 41 more health centers. 

According to our signed MOU between Sao Sary Foundation and Kampong Speu Provincial Govt, We agreed to mobilize resources to do so. Back to our past experience, $43,000 US Dollars was spent to build a communal hall and $27,000 to refurbish a health center therefore, we are commiting to fundraise the said amount. Your generous monetary donation and/or creation of a fundraising campaign with your efforts are truly helpful to us for making them reality. Making it today for better health care in Cambodia tomorrow!

With financial support from Ngee Ann City through Singapore International Foundation, Sao Sary Foundation could manage to build a Govt-Standard commune hall for Khtum Kraing Commune. Khtum Kraing is one of 1,406 communes of Cambodia and one of 87 communes to Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia. 

The Commune Hall, Later, it is named as a Singapore-Cambodia friendship hall due to the nature of financial support. It impacts 8,000 inhabitants who live in 16 villages. By seeing its impact, we then are committing to fundraise for building 41 more. Help us to provide better services to the people in needs by having a standard commune hall for all communes in Cambodia.
