Solution
KSH wishes to enhance the value and responsibility of its beneficiaries, and to raise awareness among Cambodian society and local authorities of the living and working conditions of this public still too isolated and stigmatized today. To achieve this, the association aims to become financially self-sufficient by professionalizing its sheltered, income-generating job preparation workshop, the L'IRRESISTIBLE confectionery, by achieving hygiene and quality standards, investing in equipment to increase its output and diversify its products, and developing its educational work-integration program.
In fact, in addition to its educational and awareness-raising component, this project includes an income-generating dimension. In this way, its beneficiaries become the primary players in their change, their path to autonomy and their integration into Cambodian society.
The ultimate goal of KSH is to ensure financial autonomy through the development of its educational program, with the aim of meeting 40-50% of its operating budget within 3 to 5 years, and 90% within 10 years.
