True Light Outreach
-light area where children are at extreme risk of abuse and trafficking. One new development in 2024-25 was the formation of a youth soccer team which trained regularly and played some matches.
The Bar Outreach team visited bars and brothels to befriend and support those who work there. The primary aim was to offer friendship, and after that, through key partnerships with other organizations, a route into a different way of life for those who want it. In the past year, several of those contacted have regularly attended

The trustees are most grateful to the very generous donors without whose ear-marked financial support this development would not have been possible.
Stop for the One Child Sponsorship program
The Stop for the One Child Sponsorship programme supports vulnerable children by providing essential school uniforms, books, and educational supplies. Beyond school needs, sponsorship helps to fund our community centres.
The Baby Milk Programme is a lifeline for infants and mothers in crisis, providing formula, nutritional support, and health education. TMW staff offer critical support to families during their most difficult moments, helping mothers unable to breastfeed due to illness or malnutrition, and supporting grieving families caring for newborns who have lost their mothers.
The following story is a good example of this work. baby, Robert, who is part of the baby milk program. When they first met them, the family had no money and was living on the streets. It was the rainy season, and the harsh conditions caused the children to become seriously ill, suffering from open wounds, fever, and diarrhoea. Robert was especially unwell, so the TMW team

vulnerability, the TMW team developed a plan to help them rent a room, providing a safe and secure place where the children could be protected. Since then, Robert* has gained weight and his health has improved significantly.

Social Work
. Here are some examples of their work in 2024-25.
The social work team helped to facilitate the rescue and rehoming of a 17-year-old girl who had endured ongoing abuse from the age of eight. When the team first met her in Phnom Penh, they took time to build a trusting and compassionate relationship, offering consistent care and support. As she began to feel safe, seen, and valued, she slowly found the courage to share her story. Working closely in partnership with government authorities, home where she is surrounded by care, stability, and encouragement, and she has begun a journey of healing and restoration, discovering new hope and dignity.
On another occasion, having been made aware by hospital staff, the team arranged care for a newborn baby who was at the hospital with no one to look after her. She was also very ill, and the team stayed with her day and night until she was well enough to leave. help her find a long-term home, in agreement with government officials.
Outreach
Two outreaches to provincial villages were organised with the assistance of visiting teams, to educate the communities on the dangers of human trafficking. The two-day programme included games, worship, and snacks, with separate training sessions for adults and children on how to stay safe. Children received school supplies and families were given food packages. These villages are often the target of traffickers, and this programme of awareness raising and anti-trafficking education prevents a great number of children from falling victim to abuse and trafficking.
Rescue and cooperation with other organisations
TMW staff continue to partner with other organisations, such as Agape International Missions (AIM), the Hard Places Community (HPC), Hope Foundation, Extreme Love and Teen Challenge, and with the authorities, to pass on information about cases of trafficking and exploitation which they receive in the course of their work. In the past year information provided by TMW again led to the rescue of several children and young people who had been trafficked.
The TMW team also helped to rescue a Brazilian girl who was being held in Cambodia against her will by Chinese scamming gangs. Our staff moved her safely to a hotel and stayed with her until a suitable safe house was found for the young lady. Travel documents were obtained, a donor paid for her return flight to Brazil, and funds were provided to pay off her debts and enable her to begin a nursing degree course.
