Strong support starts with strong skills.

Our Futures Siem Reap conducted its annual Basic Soft Skills Refresher Training for 17 staff members from the Saving Lives, ChildSafe Movement and Futures Education teams.

Soft skills are a vital part of social work. Whether building trust with children and families, communicating effectively, solving problems, or working collaboratively, these skills help frontline staff provide better support and create positive outcomes for the communities they serve.

By investing in continuous learning and professional development, we strengthen our ability to protect children, empower young people, and support families more effectively.

Kaliyan Mith is a program of the Friends-International alliance.

Building pathways to employment starts with knowledge, skills, and preparation

We recently organized a Futures Employment Tour for 11 ChildSafe Movement Agents (CSAs) specializing in employment support. The visit provided valuable insights into employment opportunities, workplace expectations, and the services available to help young people access decent work.

The team also took the opportunity to deliver a Financial Literacy session, helping participants strengthen their understanding of budgeting, saving, and managing finances. These are essential skills for long-term financial stability and success.

By equipping CSAs with employment and financial knowledge, we are strengthening their ability to guide and support vulnerable youth towards safe employment, sustainable incomes, and brighter futures.

Skills create opportunities. Opportunities create brighter futures.

On 15 June 2026, the Futures Siem Reap Team participated in TVET Day, held under the theme: “TVET Gives Skills, Gives Jobs, and Gives Income.”

The event highlighted the important role of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in equipping young people with practical skills that lead to employment, financial independence, and improved livelihoods.

At Kaliyan Mith, we believe that access to education, vocational training, and employment opportunities helps young people build confidence, achieve their goals, and create a better future for themselves and their families.

Together, we are investing in skills that open doors to lasting opportunities. 🤝

Standing in solidarity with our partners at Safe Haven Medical Outreach

We are saddened to hear about the loss of their mobile clinic van and the damage to their outreach vehicle. These vehicles play a vital role in helping Safe Haven reach children with disabilities and complex medical needs in rural communities across Siem Reap.

While we are relieved that no one was injured, the impact on their outreach work will be significant. We encourage our network and community to show their support in any way they can.

When one organization faces challenges, it reminds us of the importance of partnership and collective action in ensuring that children and families continue to receive the support they need.

On Monday night, Safe Haven experienced something we never expected.

Our mobile clinic van caught fire and was completely destroyed. Sadly, the fire also spread to our outreach truck, causing significant damage, and making it currently unsafe to drive.

As an organisation that delivers the majority of our services through outreach, this has had an immediate impact on our ability to reach the children and families who rely on us. Right now, our priority is finding short-term transport solutions so that our teams can continue delivering essential services to children with disabilities and complex medical needs across rural Siem Reap. Tuk tuks and motorbikes can help us reach some families who live closer to town, but many of our children live in remote rural communities where safe and reliable access requires a car or van. If you have any way of helping us with transport, whether through a vehicle loan, rental assistance, sponsorship, or other ideas, please reach out to us on [email protected] or send us a private message on FB.

Our staff are understandably shocked and upset by what has happened, but we are incredibly grateful that no one was injured. While the loss of our vehicles is devastating, the safety of our staff is what matters most.

In the coming weeks, we will be exploring fundraising options and longer-term solutions. Without reliable transport, our outreach work simply cannot happen.

Thank you to everyone who has checked in on us, offered help, and stood beside us during this difficult week. Your support means more than you know. Please see comments for ways to donate.

To contact us about offering assistance please email [email protected] or send us message on FB.

Another community coming together to keep children safe.

We hosted a child protection awareness campaign on the topic of Grooming in Ampil Commune, Bakong District, Siem Reap Province.

A total of 341 participants (including families, youth, and children) joined the session and actively engaged in discussions about how grooming happens, the warning signs to look out for, and the important role communities play in protecting children from harm.

The enthusiasm and participation shown throughout the campaign demonstrate a growing commitment to child safety and prevention. By raising awareness and encouraging open conversations, we can help create communities where every child is protected, respected, and able to thrive.

Together, we can prevent violence against children and build safer for all.

Supporting children and families starts with strong community connections.

Recently, our Poipet team conducted outreach activities in the IDP (internally displaced persons) housing area of Slor Kram Village, Slor Kram Commune, Svay Chek District, Banteay Meanchey Province.

During the visit, the team provided case support to vulnerable families, trained new ChildSafe Movement Agents (CSA) to strengthen community-based child protection efforts, and supported a small business case to help improve livelihood opportunities for a family in the community.

By combining child protection, community engagement, and economic empowerment, we are working to create safer environments and brighter futures for children and their families.

Protecting children starts with informed communities. We recently hosted a community event on the topic of Grooming in Anchagn Community as part of the Violence Against Children (VAC) prevention campaign, bringing together 315 participants, including families, youth, and children.

The community showed great interest and active participation throughout the session, engaging in discussions about how grooming can occur, the warning signs to look out for, and practical ways to keep children safe from harm.

By raising awareness and encouraging open conversations, we can help children, families, and communities recognize risks early and create safer environments where every child can thrive.

Together, we can prevent violence against children and strengthen child protection in our communities.

To help prepare students for real employment opportunities, our Beauty Salon trainer recently led 18 Beauty Salon trainees on a learning visit to salon supplier shops.

The visit gave trainees valuable exposure to popular beauty and salon products currently used in the industry, helping them better understand market trends, customer needs, and the products they are likely to encounter in their future workplaces.

By connecting practical training with real-world industry knowledge, we are helping young people build the skills, confidence, and experience needed to succeed in the job market.
