Current Projects

1. Utilizing the Buddhist monks and school students to prevent trafficking, sexual abuse and child labour.

Objectives: To reduce the vulnerability of women and children at the village level through awareness raising and community support strategies. This objective will be achieved by employing a holistic approach to awareness raising and support that informs both young and old about the negative impact of trafficking, sexual abuse and child labour and provides tools and supports to prevent it at the village level. This approach will train and mobilise Buddhist monks and school students to lead community awareness raising and support programmes, establish Parent Teacher Associations, create links amongst key groups, and provide additional community supports.
