Children’s Protection Program Update – Peru & Cambodia

We are delighted to share the latest updates on our Children’s Protection Program in Peru and Cambodia. Over the past three months, your generosity has made a tangible difference in the lives of vulnerable children, ensuring their safety, well-being, and access to essential resources.

The Importance of Child Protection Globalteer, a UK-registered charity, runs this vital Child Protection Program to safeguard children from, trafficking and sexual abuse. Our program equips local teachers with the knowledge and tools to educate children on personal safety and self-protection. By empowering children to recognize and respond to dangerous situations, we aim to reduce the risks they face and create a lasting, positive impact in their communities.

The Challenges in Peru and Cambodia Children in both Peru and Cambodia are highly vulnerable due to various socio-economic factors. In Peru, over 35% of adolescents have experienced sexual violence, while in Cambodia, children make up more than 41% of victims in sex-trafficking cases, according to UNICEF. The lack of parental supervision due to work demands, along with limited access to educational resources on safety, makes children even more susceptible to exploitation.

Peru: Strengthening Protection and Education In Peru, our program has continued to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children facing challenging circumstances. Thanks to your support:

  • Our workshops on children's rights and emotional well-being have empowered over 100 children with knowledge and self-confidence.
  • Collaborations with local authorities have strengthened our ability to respond swiftly to cases of neglect or abuse, ensuring immediate intervention and support.
  • We have improved literacy and education opportunities, equipping children with the skills they need for a brighter future.
  • Sessions on personal safety strategies, recognizing unsafe situations, and reporting crimes have been integrated into the curriculum, ensuring that children are well-equipped to protect themselves.

Cambodia: Creating Safe Spaces and Empowering Communities In Cambodia, our efforts have focused on providing children with security and the opportunity to thrive. In the last three months:

  • Over 300 children in our program have continued to receive daily nutritious meals, supporting both their physical and cognitive development.
  • Our team has conducted child protection training for children, increasing awareness and creating a stronger safety net.
  • We introduced new recreational and educational activities to help children build confidence and social skills.
  • Through our social care worker, we have helped children overcome trauma and regain their sense of hope and security.
  • Local teachers have received ongoing training in child safety, empowering them to act as trusted figures who can guide and protect children in their communities.

Innovative Approaches and Long-Term Impact Our teams in Peru and Cambodia continuously update and refine the program to ensure it meets the evolving needs of the children. Recent efforts include:

  • Developing interactive activities and practical exercises that allow children to actively participate and apply what they learn in real-life scenarios.
  • Incorporating feedback from children, parents, and teachers to tailor the content and ensure it remains engaging and relevant.
  • Strengthening collaboration with local educators and interns to reinforce the program’s effectiveness and sustainability.

By fostering a network of informed, vigilant adults and confident, safety-aware children, we are laying the foundation for long-term change. Employing local teachers not only ensures sustainability but also strengthens community involvement and ownership of child protection initiatives.

Looking Ahead The past three months have been a testament to what we can achieve together. Your continued support allows us to expand our reach, enhance our programs, and create lasting change in the lives of these children. As we move forward, we remain committed to protecting their rights, nurturing their potential, and building a safer world for every child.

Thank You Your kindness and generosity are transforming lives every day. This program is only possible because of supporters like you who believe in the power of education, protection, and community collaboration. We deeply appreciate your commitment to ensuring a safer, brighter future for vulnerable children.

With gratitude.
