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| 2 partnerships, enhanced local leadership, and a clearer pathway toward delivering survivalswimming at national scale. ## **Reference and Administrative details** |Charity name|Safety When It Matters| |---|---| |Other name the charity uses|SWIM Cambodia| |Registered charity number|1161276| |Charity’s principal address|10 Ormonde Way| ||Shoreham-by-Sea| ||West Sussex| ||BN43 5YB| ||UK| ## **Declarations** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** ||| |---|---| |Conrad Gifford Foote
