child safe zone

Just off one of the major streets in Phnom Penh is a community of families struggling to get by. I've mentioned before that people here work hard, usually six days per week. One of the problems with all this work is what to do with the kids while they are at work. Often children are left alone with no supervision. We have been working with church partners to provide a safe place for kids while their parents are at work. We provide training for community volunteers who eventually oversee the place. We provide toys and educational materials. We find church partners who are motivated to help their community struggle upward. These photos are from a recent visit to one of our child safe zone locations.
