Dear Donors:
A message from our founder and Chairman of Lotus Outreach Society Canada Khyentse Norbu. “We should rejoice that Lotus Outreach has protected literally thousands of girls from the poorest families through its education and professional skills training programs”.
Empowerment is the heart of Sustainable change. Lotus Outreach Society Canada, in partnership with Lotus Outreach International, empowers women and children living in poverty through access to education, training and care.
Your donations have supported the education and empowerment of young, vulnerable women in Cambodia and in India. These young girls live in rural areas where little opportunity for education or protection from sexual and physical abuse has been available.
In 2019, donors such as you supported crucial work with the Cambodia Women’s Crisis Centre, The Kampuchean Action to Promote Education, and Lotus Outreach Cambodia, which provide services directly under the umbrella of Lotus Outreach International.
The Cambodian Women’s Crisis Centre empowers vulnerable women and girls through counselling. This year, your dollars helped facilitate physical and psychological healing.
The Kampuchean Action to Promote Education (KAPE) is a well-established local NGO with a portfolio of 14 on-going projects across Cambodia that seek to develop the capacity of schools and communities to fulfill the right of every child to have a good quality and effective education
Lotus Outreach Cambodia is an umbrella organization for local affiliates that support simple solutions to eradicating barriers to girls’ education. For example, the Blossom Bus provides safe transportation to and from school.
While much has been accomplished, our work needs to continue. Human trafficking and the sex trade continue to expand. Women and young girls are at critical risk due to lack of education, social status and protection. Your contribution this year will sustain and foster the work of local NGOs in partnership with Lotus Outreach Society Canada
