Introduction: SSF Foundation is a nonreligious, non-political, and independent humanitarian organization devoted to ending human trafficking and helping poor children and families gain economic independence in impoverished communities.The SSF has special one programwith strong goals and strong strategy called the Livelihood program this program will be of assistance the poor and poorest people to give them better living. SSF has also worked closely with beneficiary in the Somrong district. In early March / 2010 SSF opened one jar training building for the villagers in Kraing Rhong village and has provided the materials for to make tank for the demo family (Aek Ren) in this village.
Project Description: SSF we believe in a proactive and innovative approach to protecting children from all forms of violence, exploitation, abuse and discrimination. As such, it is our mission to achieve lasting improvements for children living in poverty in Cambodia's poorest communities, through a process that unites people across cultures and adds meaning and value to their lives. We do this through: enabling deprived children, their families and their communities to meet their basic needs and to increase their ability to participate in and benefit from their societies; inspiring deprived children, their families and their communities to socially and economically empower themselves to be agents of change in their own lives and for a more equitable world; and, preventing and responding to violence, exploitation and abuse against children- including commercial sexual exploitation, trafficking, child labor and harmful traditional practices, such as female genital mutilation/cutting and child marriage.
Progress Summary
1/ jar building: since early march 2010 SSF has provided the jar training to villagers in the Kraing Rhong community from the 5th march 2010 to the 14th march 2010 the training has been successful in training three trainee ( Not Vanak, Yem Thoch, and Mom Samath) has affirmed that they could be buildable without trainer. During training the community and trainee show great solidarity and are happy to learn. we achieved building 8 jars and after the training finished the trainees have continued to build jars for improve their skills. Until now they could only build amount 12 jars, to build more than this we had set up a new mold to speed up their works because to build one jar we spend one day so setting up a new mold is faster. The advantage of jar training is not only that the trainee has the knowledge and skills but that they can use the skill to work for their life in the future, also we are stronger knowing more about the attitude of the villagers when it works in solidarity.
2/ Building the tank of demo family: in Kraing Rhong community our team has selected one family to be the demo family (Aek Ren) and we had a program to encourage this family by providing the tank for water storage to use in irrigation. We studied this case more before we start to provide the until on 04th march 2010 when we purchased material to build the jars including material to build the tank. We started to build the tank from 07th march 2010 until now, this task is mostly finish.
Problem Encountered:
Before this program started we had encountered some problem with the construction shops that we had selected when we went to purchase the material they didn’t open the shop so we had to change to another shop immediately.
We were so upset with the outsource trainer who had promised to teach the village but didn’t arrived on time so the training has delayed for one day and we had to contact to another outsource trainer in Bach Chan market who charged a higher fee.
On the top this problems were still occuring in the program when we had a trainer and material enough as the mold that we had bought already the outsource trainer couldn’t use so we had to buy a new mold immediately through the outsource trainer.
Changes in Requirements: in this program it has not been necessary make changes in the schedule because this program was off schedule.
Overall Assessment of the Program:
- In the overall project of jar building we have found that are going well
- The tank building with the demo family is going well also
