Despite human trafficking being a crime in Cambodia, the country has a significant child sex tourism problem; some children are sold by their parents, while others are lured by what they think are legitimate job offers like waitressing, but then are forced into prostitution. 38% of women and girls working in sexually exploitative conditions had entered the industry because their virginity had been bought. In a survey of Cambodian sex trafficking victims to Thailand, only 25% reported being trafficked by a stranger. Two-thirds of the victims were trafficked by someone that they knew – a family member or someone from their community. Some are as young as 13.*
As part of our Cambodia outreach teams, the team visits the training centre of Precious Women; a Cambodian run NGO which offers women caught up in the entertainment industry a way out by providing training in beauty, hairdressing, cooking etc.
We learn about their work and enjoy beauty treatments, fun and conversation with some of the trainees. Following that, we join the Precious Women staff and volunteers in small groups, visiting 3 or 4 women that have escaped the sex industry and who now utilise these skills. Our aim is to demonstrate love and show interest to the women we will spend an hour or so with that evening.
Looking ahead to 2027, we plan to continue strengthening these partnerships and exploring new opportunities to support the work already taking place on the ground. Our goal remains the same: to serve alongside local leaders and help create lasting change for the communities they serve.
By joining this team in 2027 you'll help locals to build a community project - no skills or strength necessary. There is always something to do - from laying bricks, passing materials, painting and clearing - as well as entertaining the local children! Cambodia is a great place for all ages and many volunteers have come as a family.
You will also visit and help at a number of community projects in the region. This may include hair-washing of children in the slums or meeting girls rescued from the sex trade.
Volunteers will have the opportunity for rest and relaxation exploring the famous Angkor Wat temple complex near Siem Reap and other attractions in Phnom Penh area.
The teams in Cambodia have been doing an incredible job. Here are a few of the most recent stories and stats from the projects...
New villages of homes for vulnerable people in Phnom Penh
Schools built incl. a floating classroom
