Street Children in Cambodia
There is a group of children living on the streets with insufficient food, and they are tempted to drugs trafficking and taking drugs due to their living need.
Outreach Service
Metta uses the "CARES" model to help and support children living on the street.
Choice
Share different options, such as vocational training, returning to school, referral services (e.g. drug rehabilitation) to let the children and youth understand that there are other alternatives apart from begging.
Alongside
Provide psychological support to rebuild the lives of street children and youth. On-site services are also available to provide support and encouragement
when they encounter difficulties.
Restoration
Restore their healthy fitness through recreational activities. Provide medical subsidies when they are in medical need. Basic health and hygiene knowledge is also shared to maintain a clean and healthy body even if they are living on the street.
Engagement
Through regular visits and contacts, we aim to understand the needs of children and establish mutual trust relationships in order to encourage them to leave street life.
Security
Provide accommodation for children who want to leave street life.
