THE SAO SARY FOUNDATION What is the Sao Sary Founda<on? The Sao Sary Founda>on (SSF) was founded in 1998 to improve the quality of life for children and their families living in extreme des>tu>on in Cambodia. SSF aims to develop educa>onal support programs for children who are at high-‐risk of being trafficked. SSF’s mission is to protect these children from all forms of violence, exploita>on, and abuse including commercial sexual exploita>on, human trafficking, child labor and child marriage. Our Proac<ve Approach: A Focus on the Children SSF takes a proac>ve approach by iden>fying high-‐risk children – par>cularly girls who are aged 10 or older because they face the highest risk of trafficking -‐ and providing sustainable assistance to them and their families. SSF works at three levels -‐ individual, family and village -‐ with the goal of strengthening the livelihood of families and the social infrastructure of their communi>es to protect these children. SSF educa>onal programs strive to give children the means to aPend and remain in school, thus building a founda>on for breaking the vicious poverty cycle in the next genera>on. SSF community development programs focus on assis>ng families develop income-‐genera>ng small businesses that give them the means to earn an income, hence, removing the reason for families to be part of the human trafficking process.

WHERE WE WORK: KAMPONG SPEU, CAMBODIA Why Cambodia Needs Your Help A^er 30 years of social turmoil, genocide, and armed conflict, Cambodia con>nues to face developmental challenges, as the country remains one of the poorest in Asia. Where We Work: Kampong Speu, Cambodia Kampong Speu is located close to the capital Phnom Penh and the coastal resort of Sihanoukville. The city’s proximity to Cambodia’s financial and resort capitals make its poorest households extremely vulnerable to trafficking due to its proximity to both formal and informal trafficking networks. In Kampong Speu Province: • 44% of all households fall below the poverty line and live on less than $0.50 per day • 90% do not have access to a sanitary toilet • 1 in 150 people are sex slaves or pros>tutes • There is only 1 health clinic for every 24,200 people Leadership: Vichetr Uon The assassina>on of Mr. Sao Sary, Vichetr Uon’s father, in 1998 was the spark for the crea>on of the Sao Sary Founda>on. Vichetr has worked in various Interna>onal NGOs for almost a decade, the most prominent being Church World Service. Vichetr was recently chosen as a young leader to represent Cambodia in the upcoming Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit 2010.
