SCC Monks Trust Fund
The SCC Monks Trust Fund was established
as a local and international fundraising activity for SCC
Monks to provide additional or urgent support, beyond SCC's
regular program, to people living with HIV/AIDS and orphans
and vulnerable children. This additional support includes
providing:
- Food support
- Clothing
- Educational supplies and bicycles for
children
- Essential drugs
- Funds for establishing small, sustainable
businesses
- Funerals
Trust Fund Target Areas
While many large, institutional donors
are happy to support initiatives aimed at improving the lives
of Cambodia’s rural poor, it is harder to find similar
support for those living in urban poverty. SCC is working
in many slum areas in Phnom Penh, characterised by extreme
poverty, low employment, high mobility, poor access to education
and sanitation, and consequently suffering from many associated
social and health problems. For these reasons, HIV/AIDS rates
are often very high in these areas.
SCC therefore focuses much of the Trust
Fund support in these areas, to ensure that marginalised people
in Phnom Penh are not denied access to urgently needed support.
The Trust Fund does however also support some beneficiaries
and activities in Battambang and Siem Reap, where there are
also many needs for this support and where SCC has prevention
education, care and support initiatives.
Management of funds
The Trust Fund is managed by SCC Monks
and staff who ensure that support is provided to those most
in need in the communities that SCC works in. The Trust Fund
is also managed to audit standard and a report of the fund’s
activities is produced and made available to donors every
year.
