In 2024 we supported the rebuild of the Child Advocacy Center and a major film project in Cambodia.

Why This Matters

Child Advocacy Center
A child advocacy center seeks to create a child-friendly environment employing interviewing methods which take a child’s age development into consideration. Such forensic interviewing techniques will ensure that information elicited from the child is not tainted or suggestive. This will result in testimony that is more usable by the court in a prosecution. As a result of proper forensic interviewing techniques, there will be an increase In disclosure of abuse by a child, increase in child victims identified, recognition by law-enforcement of proper techniques for interviewing a child, and utilizing properly trained interviewers for such interviews. Creation of MDTs will result in coordination of both prosecution efforts and service provided to survivors.

Film Project
The film produce will go into every school in Cambodia warning children about two specific things: Online Exploitation and Forced Marriage.

Past Projects

We have partnered with some amazing charities since 2010. Check out some of past projects with our charitable partners.

Operation24

Chab Dai Coalition

The 24 Hour Race helps finance programs through 49 Cambodian NGOs by supporting Chab Dai Collection’s work with anti-slavery organisations. Chab Dai Collection develops best practises, connecting programs and providing much needed support to under-resourced NGOs. Some of their programs include prevention, protection, intervention, aftercare, reintegration, vocational training, employment provision for victims of slavery.

Justice Centre

Justice Centre is a Hong Kong-based charity that provides free, independent high-quality legal information to all people going through the Unified Screening Mechanism, in their own language, where possible. They aim to provide life-changing services to refugee men, women, and children. They campaign for fairer legislation and policies, produce reports and policy papers, conduct research and work with schools, universities and the media to fight root causes and change systems and minds.

Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation

Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation is an Australian charity in Vietnam founded in 2003 when two friends offered English lessons to street kids. Since then, Blue Dragon has expanded into an organization of 67 loyal staff, helping to support over 1,500 children throughout Vietnam every year.

Right4Children

Right4Children focuses on the prevention and long term change aspect of battling human trafficking. They do this through various projects ranging from hotel training programs to earthquake rebuilding. They focus on helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, which includes former trafficking victims. Right4Children acknowledges the ease in which rescued trafficking victims tends to go back to traffickers as they face many hardships during their reintegration into society - they have most likely missed many crucial years of education making it hard for them to find jobs, and they also have to face social stigma.

SUKA Society

SUKA Society is a small but growing organization, one that has already inspired our student network in Kuala Lumpur through its educational and awareness programming. This year 24 Hour Race will support the operations of SUKA’s transitional shelter for victims of trafficking to Malaysia, a destination country for domestic workers, bonded labor, and the sex trade. SUKA’s shelter is designated primarily for children, so often exploited in these circumstances. This is a key resource in the government’s effort to address the human trafficking situation. SUKA’s programming at the shelters place an emphasis on vocational skill-set development, so that victims not only have a productive pipeline back into society, but are able to generate income while in the transitory shelter.
