Sponsor a Child

Thank you for visiting SSF fundraising page! We hope you will support Us in our cause by making a donation.

Donating is really simple and secure. The money will directly go to Sao Sary Foundation to support the most vulnerable people 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.
Sao Sary Foundation focuses much of its attention in the areas of direct support regarding sponsoring a child, a family, and a community. We serve since 16 years so far.

Three categories of Sponsorships

Sao Sary Foundation has three categories of sponsorship: for children and youths; for families; and for communities. In each case, the sponsor and those he or she assists enters into a mutual agreement and commitment to a set of objectives for one year. Our role is to ensure that these objectives are met.

Sponsorship for Children

Sponsorship for Children was among the three categories that we would like to feature here.
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.

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.
