New Training Programme to boost family values in Community - by Sopheak

I am a Social Worker for Riverkids. Recently, we launched a new programme to help families in the community understand family values.






As the parents in the community are always busy with their job and some of them spend their time gambling, playing cards and taking drugs that resulted in domestic violence, their children’s education is totally neglected. Many of them either do not care about their children’s studies or are clueless about planning for their welfare.

We started visiting the women in the community to teach them the roles of a good parent. Our team is divided into 2 groups for the monthly visits. We teach 3 mothers per day, starting from 2.30pm to 3.30pm everyday.

We hope to see a change in their thinking and attitude towards a family and we are optimistic that with our assistance, training and counselling, they will be able to motivate their children to study, become financially stable and stay safe from traffickers.
