Child Helpline Cambodia

Description of the partner

Child Helpline Cambodia – CHC – was set up because children and young people in Cambodia needed access to a confidential advice and guidance service. To meet their needs, CHC offers several channels through which they can seek help, including a free phone line and an online platform to ask questions.

CHC is committed to responding to a wide range of issues raised by young people, women, girls and their families. These include issues such as school information, reproductive health, sexuality, human trafficking, child labour, online exploitation, abuse and violence.

The service provided by CHC puts young people, women and girls at the forefront of decision-making, allowing them to express themselves in a safe and trustworthy environment.
