As a father of two wonderful daughters, the issues of sex trade is especially devastating to me. Daughters of Cambodia has created several opportunities for girls to leave the sex trade by allowing them to see value in themselves. They give the girls job opportunities, training and education, social skills, place to live if needed, etc. I have attached a video about them below. If you are short on time, skip ahead to the 7:00 minute mark to hear the testimony of a girl rescued.
There are many ways you can get involved in the work of Daughters of Cambodia:
- Partner with them in business – buy their products wholesale or retail
- They need the assistance of business consultants overseas to help us develop small businesses
- Sponsor a girl ($70 a month to sponsor one girls’ entire salary each month)
- Fundraising
- Pray – email them for updated prayer requests
- Partner with them financially by making a donation by PayPal (go to the bottom of page)
