Cambodia Urgent Appeal

Survivors Like Sophea Need You

Sophea (name changed for safety) is just 10 months old and has already experienced abuse. She also has a disability, making her more vulnerable to trafficking and abuse. Because of Hagar’s supporters, and generous USAID funding, Sophea was welcomed into a trauma-informed Hagar foster family where she has received the professional and loving care needed to grow and thrive.

But right now, the care Sophea and hundreds of children receive through Hagar is under threat. Currently, we have 33 child survivors just like Sophea in care in Siem Reap:

• 10 survivors in 10 foster families

• 21 survivors in kinship care families

• 2 survivors in family of origin placements

To ensure continued support for these children from 25 January to 30 June 2025, we urgently need $61,741 to sustain our core operations, including:

• Providing direct care and support for child survivors in foster and kinship care

• Supplying essential resources to foster and kinship care families, including case management, counselling, and legal services

• Advocating for budget allocation for kinship and foster care at the district level

• Offering mentoring and coaching support to foster and kinship care families

• Maintaining the kinship care and foster care network

• Strengthening sub-national coordination and referral pathways for family-based alternative care

• Providing capacity building for sub-national duty bearers

• Covering the salaries of two case managers, one counsellor in Siem Reap, and partial support for other essential staff
