Cambodian girl goes to 8th grade instead of bar work
The 16-year-old was about to start work in a beer garden, a business in the region known to groom young girls for sexual exploitation.
The child, Chantu, was discovered by our field agents who worked with her mother to ensure the girl’s safety. Often families are unaware of the risks associated with these jobs so our teams spend dedicated time providing parents with awareness training. Chantu enrolled in our program after rescue and attended our Empower class (pictured) which bolstered her sense of self worth. The financial assistance provided by our program has helped to offset initial education costs and she is now attending school in grade 8.
