Announcement Description

Caritas Switzerland (CaCH) has been engaged in Cambodia for 20 years with its own presence and registration since 2014. Caritas Switzerland works towards a Cambodia in which human development is for everyone. Our core themes are safe migration, increasing the income of vulnerable people, and building the resilience of communities to climate variability and change. Caritas Switzerland perceives quality education as a powerful tool for combating poverty, social exclusion and inequalities.

The Safe Migration Cambodia (SaMiCa II, p_250019) project, led by Caritas Switzerland (CACH) and in partnership with Damnok Toek (DT) and the National Committee for Counter Trafficking (NCCT), aims to reduce the societal and economic costs associated with harmful migration and child trafficking, which have devastating consequences for future generations through a comprehensive approach involving prevention, protection, and reintegration services.

The project operates in two border regions: Poipet & Ou Chrov (Banteay Meanchey province) and Kamrieng, Phnom Prek, and Sampovloun districts (Battambang province). In this current phase, the project integrates the Graduation Approach to support vulnerable households - especially youth in migratory contexts - by offering alternative livelihood opportunities that enhance economic self-reliance and resilience.
