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:
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:
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:
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.
