PROJECT CHANGE IS A REGISTERED NOT-FOR-PROFIT AUSTRALIAN CHARITY

We are dedicated to educating and empowering women to end the cycle of poverty, abuse and sex trafficking.

Families living in extreme poverty can rarely afford an education for their children.

Parents are forced to allow their daughters to be sold into sex work or exploited and abused in low-paid factory jobs. These communities often have no access to proper food, clean water, medicine or education – and no way of escaping the cycle of poverty.

Our Community Centre

In the Takeo province of Cambodia, our community centre is a safe-haven for vulnerable girls and young women to be educated, access food, clean drinking water, healthcare and support. This community centre provides the safety and security for young women to overcome severe trauma to complete high school, learn English, learn skills to benefit the community, and enable them the opportunity to attend university.
