Samaritan’s Purse International Relief (SP) is a nonprofit, nondenominational, evangelical Christian Organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world.
The Bee Family project provides technical support and start-up capital to vulnerable families in Pailin to engage in sustainable livelihood activities that will generate income and offer an alternative to unsafe migration. The project will identify families that are vulnerable to unsafe migration due to a lack of work opportunities and debt, being led by women or elderly members, or facing illness or disability. The project will provide them the opportunity to engage in income-generating livelihood activities that will improve the economic status of the household and decrease their susceptibility to labor exploitation and unsafe migration.
