CURRENT MISSION

To provide a proactive approach to helping children and families solve their economic problems, which in turn, helps eliminate the occurrence of child trafficking.

ABOUT ME

I was born in a rural remote area of Takeo province in Cambodia. My father was shot dead anonymously during a humanitarian mission which led our family into a terrible situation. My sisters and brothers were forced to stop their primary education to keep me in school, while there was no money for the rest of the six siblings to attend. I was granted the opportunity of a lifetime to go to college, through the kindness and financial support of my foster brother. I graduated with a Science Degree from Norton University in Phnom Penh provided by a full-four year sponsorship from his Australian foster brother. I am passionate about putting an end to the human trafficking of the vulnerable in Cambodia, starting from the poorest province, Kampong Speu. My philosophy is that in order to stop trafficking SSF must improve the livelihoods of the poorest in the community, thus removing any potential opportunity for the traffickers. I believe any organization must work with families on a long-term basis and utilize the strengths they have already acquired in their lifetime. This involves nursing existing talents such as baking and turning them into fledgling businesses that will provide income and security form families.

PHILOSOPHY

I will be best if i can take away sadness/sorrow, starvation, poverty, and all forms of violence, exploitation, abuse against children,including sexual commercial, child trafficking, child labour and child marriage.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Sao Sary Foundation (SSF) is a nonreligious, non-political, and independent humanitarian organization devoted to ending human trafficking and helping poor children and families gain economic independence in impoverished communities. SSF centers around our children; thus, child sponsorship is our basic foundation. SSF was founded in 2006 and officially recognized by the national government of the Kingdom of Cambodia as a non-profit organization in 2007.
