It is far better to give than receive
In 2015 we decided to make our life more about giving. We didn't know what it would look like but we knew we would figure it out along the way. We did know the purpose - to help women and children who are suffering. James 1:7

They reach out to those who are trapped in the sex industry and offer opportunities to them to walk free, start a new life and learn how to sustain it within community settings. Daughters’ operates non-residential centres in the heart of Phnom Penh’s red light areas, where young women or young men wishing to leave sex work are taught how to change their life-style, and provided with employment in one of their 9 fair-trade businesses, along with a range of social and psychological services. |
