Components of Phare Ponleu Selpak's Child Protection Program

Sponsorship & Scholarship Program

The Sponsorship Program is an important component of the Child Protection Program. Our goal is to ensure that children have access to education by promoting their well-being and providing support for their needs. Under the sponsorship, students receive food support, health services, and referral assistance, as well as financial support for personal development.

Child Protection Link Committee

The Child Protection Link Committee is the mechanism that aims to ensure the intersectionality of the Child Protection System of Phare Ponleu Selpak. The Committee support and empower children in all circumstances bearing in mind the best interest of the child and the non-discrimination principles. The Committee strives to provide a safe environment for all children connected to Phare where every child feels safe, respected and has space to express themselves freely.

Highlights from Our Second Quarter Activities

Happy Songkran!

Our kindergarten students had so much fun celebrating Songkran. For this New Year celebration, we invited monks to chant for blessing, played traditional Khmer games, watched a traditional dance performance by our students, and enjoyed delicious snacks!

A Safe Space to Grow

We believe that good physical and mental health are essential for our students and staff to thrive, stay focused, and reach their full potential. Together, we’re building a healthier, stronger community!

Happy Children's Day

We had some fun activities lined up, including adorable performances by our students to bring stories to children in the community. Their smiles, laughter, and energy remind us of what we are working towards every day.

Healthy Habits for All

Our Social Support Team recently held a Dental Health and Hygiene workshop for parents and caregivers. During the workshop, our social workers shared easy, practical ways to support children’s daily hygiene routines and keep their smiles bright and healthy.

Our young students from Performing Arts School took the stage to showcase the incredible progress they've made over the past six months in their leisure class program. From dance and theatre to circus and music, each performance reflected their dedication, creativity, and growth.
