The social workers of the Child Welfare Program

Victims of neglect, poverty, trafficking or difficult family situations, street children constitute a vulnerable and marginalized population. Krousar Thmey’s social workers conduct outreach sessions in high-risk areas to identify children living on the streets and their families. Once the family and the child agree to join one of Krousar Thmey’s protection structures, the organization makes sure that the children grow up in a safe and stable environment, while supporting the families to improve their living conditions.
