Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	During the 2024–25 financial year, SWIM Cambodia strengthened its support for local delivery of drowning-prevention activities in alignment with Cambodia’s emerging national strategy. Working through its partner Hile Teuk Kampuchea (HTK) and alongside UNICEF Cambodia and the RNLI, the organisation focused on building local capacity, improving community outreach, and preparing for large-scale survival-swimming and water-safety programming. Across the year, more than 570 children and 250 adults received water-safety education, and 390 children were trained in CPR. Thirty- two teachers became Water Safety Educators, and volunteer development accelerated. HTK continued to mature as Cambodia’s leading drowning-prevention organisation, improving its communications, strengthening relationships with provincial education authorities, and deepening engagement with schools and communities. SWIM Cambodia encourage strategic collaboration with UNICEF with HTK supporting national programme planning and policy alignment, while RNLI training helped reinforce HTK’s technical and organisational capabilities. SWIM Cambodia, HTK and RNLI were invited by UNICEF and the Cambodian Ministory of Interior to lead a drowning preparation workshop, which took place in January 2025. Leads from the Ministry of Health and Monistory of Education, Youth & Sports, local municipal leaders learned about drowning and drowning prevention. A scoping visit to Run Ta Ek, Siem Reap was made in preparation for the forthcoming programme implementation. Throughout 2024–25, significant progress was made toward the launch of a Survival Swimming education programme, planned for late 2025. While challenges remain— particularly around funding sustainability, infrastructure gaps, and the need for continued curriculum integration—the year marked a strategic turning point. SWIM Cambodia enters 2025–26 with stronger

partnerships, enhanced local leadership, and a clearer pathway toward delivering survivalswimming at national scale.
