This Life Cambodia (TLC) works with and alongside Cambodian communities to create sustainable and positive change, allowing them to shape a better future for the country as a whole. It has a clear philosophy and a robust methodology. It works with communities who face the greatest challenges but have the desire and the drive to enact change - what they need are the tools, training, skills and initial support to tackle their community’s specific development issues. TLC's approach enables communities to develop the essential infrastructure and skills needed to make change and break free from poverty, as well as overcoming challenges including poor educational offerings, domestic violence and crime. The unifying factor in everything it does is it works alongside communities listening to their needs and concerns. Its staff advocate alongside children, families and community stakeholders as they design and implement their own solutions. Its programs have evolved organically, based on experience gained as it has worked at the heart of communities, and more thoroughly identified the needs communities identify through extensive and open consultation. As a result many of its programs are interlinked. Importantly, TLC always has an entry and exit strategy for its work so that over time its involvement decreases as capacity and skills increase within communities. Three examples of its programs include: * This Life Beyond Bars (TLBB), which works with young adults in prison who are nearing the end of their sentence. The goal is to ease their reintegration into their communities when they are released, by providing vocational and life skills training and maintaining family connections by facilitating family visits. TLBB has worked with hundreds of young people in Siem Reap, Banteay Meanchey and Phnom Penh’s CC2 Prisons. When the program began, 60% of juveniles released from prison were reoffending within the first 6 months: this figure dropped to only 2% with the young people TLBB works with. * This Life Reuniting Families (TLRF) is a program which aims to contribute to the reduction of children in residential care institutions in Cambodia, increase the capacity of social workers to undertake quality reintegrations, and promote family based care. Program outcomes are that children are reintegrated into safe family environments, decreasing the number of children in residential care institutions. Residential Care Institutions transition to non-residential, community-based centres. Strengthened and inclusive child protection systems establish effective gatekeeping mechanisms to prevent unnecessary family separations. *This Life Without Violence (TLWV) aims to reduce the incidence of violence against women and children in Cambodia and its destructive impact on women, girls, children, families and communities. We strengthen understanding of violence against women and children, child protection issues and the law on domestic violence at the national level.
