http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/appeal-for-funds-for-child-protection-program 1/2

Dear readers,

Hope this email finds very well!

Perhaps you may know me already but anyways if you don¶t, please give me a little of your

value time to introduce you about myself and my organization. My name¶s Vichetr Uon. Iinitiated to esablish Sao Sary Foundation in 2006 after gaining over ten [10] years experienceworking with many organizations fighting against trafficking on women and children inCambodia through rescue, rehabilitation, reintegration and repatriation before I was employedat Church World Service in Cambodia. CWS is a biggest international organization providedIntegrated Community Development services to poorest of the poor and vulnerable people andtheir communities in Cambodia since 1979.

SSF is the results of merging both successful and failed experiences that mostly I acquired andthey were used to create a new innovative solution in helping support poorest and the mostvulnerable people, to lift the burden that often leads to violence, exploitation, abuse and

especially trafficking and prevent it happening again for the families and communities SSF provides assistances. Our proactive approach leads to positive impacts to the poorest and themost vulnerable families. So far at least a hundred most vulnerable families and over 60vulnerable children benefit through this unique approach.

SSF aims to alleviate child poverty in Cambodia¶s poorest communities, while preventing allforms of violence, exploitation and abuse against children, especially commercial sexualexploitation, trafficking, child labor and child marriage. We do this through a proactive approachin protecting children from any form of violence, exploitation and abuse. Rather than waitinguntil it¶s too late, SSF strives to identify at risk children and provide sustainable assistance to

both the children and their families. It is our mission to achieve lasting improvements for children living in poverty in Cambodia's poorest communities, through a process that unites

people across cultures and adds meaning and value to their lives.

SSF's Child Protection Program assists over 60 vulnerable children in care ranging from roomand board, medical care, education, and vocational skills training. Our program affords them theopportunity to be children and not have to worry about the burdens of finding work to supporttheir families. Such desperation makes them vulnerable to being trafficked.

SSF is extremely succeed with our proactive approaches that we provides special care andopportunities to vulnerable children to develop themselves to be key agents and are able helpingto their families, communities and their country in the future. But however, the economicdownturn made us facing an immediate crisis due to lack of funding. SSF is seeking funds of US$25,000 to continue operations for our Child Protection Program for a period of 12 months[ends on 31 August 2010] while we continue efforts to acquire long-term funding.

Any immediate assistance that can be provided to SSF would be greatly appreciated than could be described. If you or anyone you know are aware of any emergency grants (i.e. one-time grantsthat have short/no waiting periods and/or not attached to any partnership agreements), pleaseemail us via info@ssfcambodia.org . Additionally, personal donations can be madeat: http://ssfcambodia.org/index.php?page=donate .
