Daughters of Cambodia was founded in 2007 by British psychologist Ruth Elliott, who sought to create effective, modern solutions to sex-trafficking and sex-exploitation that move beyond the traditional institutional model. Her vision was to offer those trapped in sex-work the opportunity to walk free and to equip them with tools and skills that will transform their lives, sustainably.  
 
The first step in walking free is to provide employment and skills training, which we do in our ethical businesses, enabling precious human beings to leave sex work immediately.  
 
We train them, not only in workplace skills, but also in skills for living, to raise their capacity for decision-making, reduce risk, and bring about changes in mind-set. 

We provide recovery programs, through our social work and medical departments, to target psychological distress, healing of trauma, family dysfunction and health needs. 

We are especially rewarded by the outcome of those who are promoted to staff positions, from starting out as program beneficiaries.  Having transformed their lives, developed new skills, and grown in character and leadership, they become amazing leaders and mentors to the newer girls. 
 
We have amazing and dedicated teams, working in areas of outreach, social work, healthcare,  training, business, discipleship & spiritual growth, administration, childcare, finance, government compliance, HR, and PR/communications, to ensure standards of excellence in every area.  
 
As followers of Jesus Christ, it is our joy to offer those in our programs the opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus Christ, and to be discipled, so that they experience freedom, healing and life transformation that Jesus brings.  We operate an on-site church and discipleship programs.  Attendance is voluntary.
