External Evaluation for New Hope for Urban Poor Program

Project description

This project is, continuing from the current project ‘New Hope for Urban Poor-Phase I’, to see the children and youth from urban poor families especially girls enjoy their basic rights and pursue their dreams with the support of the people around them especially their families, teachers and other legal duty bearers.There will be 350 children including youth (at least 55% are girls) will benefit from the project. It will also benefit to about 240 families and all members (1,171 family members included 635 women) in these families through parents’ clubs, economic empowerment, case management and emergency support programs. The project also works with public and private teachers (around 68 schools/450 teachers) and around 59 local authorities (40 village chiefs and/or Commune/Sangkat Council for Women and Children-CCWC members in 14 Sangkats of 5 Khans) for a better quality of education and child rights implementation. Sunshine Cambodia has recently expanded to a new community, Tropang Ahn Chahn as addition to the existing communities Sansom Kosal, Stung Mean Chey, Thnoat Chrum and Prey Tea. By adding the new community is leading to increase the total number of children from 300 to 350.
