Save the Children in Cambodia

We are the world’s largest independent child rights organisation, working in more than 120 countries, and working in Cambodia since 1970. Our programmatic work involves the areas of early childhood care and development, basic education, child rights, child protection, health and nutrition, child poverty, and disaster risk reduction.

2030 BREAKTHROUGHS

SURVIVE: No child dies from preventable causes before 5th birthday.

LEARN: All children learn from a quality basic education.

BE PROTECTED: Violence against children is no longer tolerated.

What we do

Save the Children in Cambodia works with and through partners in four strategic goals:

1. Multi-sectoral integrated programming that supports children under 3 to thrive and reach their full potential.

2. Child and gender sensitive, shock responsive social protection for the most vulnerable children and families.

3. Safe, continued and inclusive education for the most marginalized children, adolescents and youth.

4. Children are protected by families, communities and duty bearers from all forms of violence, at home, at school, online and in their community.
