Ongoing work to save abandoned & homeless older people in rural area
Challenge
Older people in rural and remote areas are often alone without family or their wider community. Older persons experienced abandonment, isolation, and exclusion. Through the years in Cambodia, there has been a significant increase in older people left alone with no homes or family to take care of them. The main issues are:
- Risk of severe income shortages as nearly every older person affected
- A lack of access to and difficulty affording healthcare.
- Poor living conditions and a lack of support for those with disabilities.
Solution
SSLA social workers support the provision of basic needs and uphold the dignity of the people, promoting their rights as an older person.
Abandoned older people need your love and care through your donation to provide their basic needs (food, hygiene supplies, and medical needs).

Helping poor children to have a better future
Challenge
Progress in education is tangible in Cambodia. Since 2007, the number of children enrolled in preschools has more than doubled. However, large numbers of girls and boys remain out of school at all levels of education, particularly those who live in poor rural and urban areas. Most children drop out before reaching secondary school. Girls and boys from disadvantaged groups are struggling to realize their potential as they face difficulties getting to, and staying in, school. By the time they are 17 years old, 55 per cent of adolescents will have dropped out of school. Many girls and boys are falling behind.
Solution
SSLA works to ensure that children go to and stay in school through enabling a healthy school environment, such as equipping libraries with learning materials and providing assistance to children from poor families with materials and coaching.
SSLA focuses on equitable and inclusive access to education for children with disabilities, children from ethnic minorities and children living in rural and urban poor areas.
