Cambodian Children’s Trust (CCT), co-founded by Tara Winkler and Pon Jedtha, is a non-profit child protection organisation based in Battambang, Cambodia that prevents children from facing adversity. CCT's holistic, community-led Village Hive model empowers families to stay together and achieves transformational change for vulnerable children. CCT’s Village Hive model has been developed through a ‘pilot, learn and grow’ approach over 12 years in Cambodia. It has evolved with the principle that the communities and families are the experts in their own lives. It also brings vital services into villages, so that children and their families have access to all the support they need to thrive. In Cambodia, the process has begun to transform child protection from orphanages to a system that supports families and communities first. CCT is at the forefront of this movement and setting the blueprint for community-led, preventative child protection. CCT’s Village Hive is a preventative model of child protection with an ‘upstream approach’. It is focused on identifying and ameliorating the root cause of problems and intervening early before harm occurs. By strengthening vulnerable families, we can prevent children from facing adversity, like ending up in orphanages or on the streets.
