Daughters of Cambodia was founded in 2007 by British psychologist Ruth Elliott, who sought to create effective, modern solutions to trafficking that move beyond the traditional institutional model. Her vision was to empower individuals to transform their lives independently while staying connected to their communities and families.
 
A central pillar of our strategy is to provide sustainable employment and skills training in our ethical businesses, so that individuals are able to leave sex work immediately, taking the first step of a new life.  
 
Empowerment is at the heart of everything we do. We are especially proud that many of our staff were once beneficiaries of our programs, having transformed their lives, developed new skills, and grown in character and leadership. For us, this is the best possible outcome.
 
Our social services team runs recovery programs to support each client's journey. We also have dedicated teams for finance, administration, government compliance, HR, spiritual growth, and PR/communications, ensuring a holistic approach to every aspect of our mission.
 
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are driven to share His love and compassion for all people, aiming to reflect His care in everything we do.
