Preventing children trafficking in Cambodia

Preventing children trafficking in Cambodia

Prevention of child trafficking has been the main purpose of AVEC from its beginning.  
AVEC tries to make the rural population understand the dangers of entrusting children to strangers, as well as the importance of education as a factor for change. To this end we never stop going into the field, talking with the often illiterate families. We  collaborate with the local teachers until everyone is convinced to let the children go to school.
Localisation and humanitarian intervention in a village in Cambodia for poor children suffering from ill-treatment, sexual abuse or abandoned by their parents and entrusted to people from the village.

What we will remember about this refuge is the joy and the laughter of the children: these children who all come back from far away, have all lived through very difficult things, have found their childhood here…

The schooling of vulnerable children in Cambodia

The schooling of vulnerable children in Cambodia

After one year of very hard work, the Daksosor village school has now 200 children…instead of 70 before !

Every two months we organize schooldays in the public schools we work with. These special days are important to keep in touch with the teachers and the people responsible for the 600 children we support and keep at school.

Cambodian children in school through our humanitarian action in the villages and the location of the poorest children in the region of Battambang in Cambodia.

It is also a great opportunity to continue working on the change of mentality as well as supporting the families. During these schooling actions we not only bring food but also school supplies : notebooks, pens, erasers, uniforms, etc.…lay on the full bags of rice (over 9 tons distributed per year). Sometimes more than hundred families wait for us at the local school. It is an opportunity to meet the whole families and the children. We are then able to give some advice and to talk in favour of schooling; we explain the importance of education, why children should not miss school too often; we reward the best ones and give school reports. After one year of very hard work, the Daksosor village school has now 200 children…instead of 70 before ! AVEC intends to continue with these positive results!

What we will remember from this refuge is the joy and laughter of the children: these children who all come back from far away, have all lived through very difficult things, have found their childhood here…
