MEET SEREY

WELCOME

We are Julius, Keany, Sinoun, and Katharina – the team behind SEREY. Together, we’re embarking on a new chapter in the fight against human trafficking and modern slavery here in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Each of us has a big heart for those who are oppressed, disadvantaged, or left behind. Through our project and our passion, we want to serve them. We are taking a stand against human trafficking!

Before we can step into the first communities, there’s a lot to prepare.

We train as a team, create educational materials, and most importantly, build the first networks between ourselves, local authorities, and other organizations. Because only together can we be strong and effective in addressing the root causes of human trafficking.

In these blog posts, you’ll find updates from us, valuable background information, and insights into Cambodia and the wonderful people who live here.

We’re ready to get started – are you with us?

A CHANCE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE – EDUCATION PROTECTS FROM EXPLOITATION

Many young people in the villages have not completed their education. Some follow in their parents’ footsteps and become farmers. However, many are sent by their families to work in cities, other regions, or even abroad. This is where the risk of exploitation becomes very real. Without sufficient education or vocational skills, they are vulnerable to unsafe or dangerous jobs, poor or no pay—and in the worst cases, even forced labor or prostitution.
