The Green Gecko Project is an established grassroots NGO recognized for bringing effective, sustainable and positive change to former street children and their families. Through a holistic approach and long-term programs, they have empowered over 100 children and adolescents to break the begging cycle and live a self-determined and independent life, free of fear, abuse and exploitation.
Green Gecko Project supports families by providing their children with a comprehensive education, care, support and development opportunities. A solid focus has always been to incorporate their youth into the decision-making process for planning activities and procedures. Giving them a voice and building their self-esteem.
This well-rounded approach is already having a real effective and sustainable impact. From UNESCO delegates, Medical Scholars and Ministry Officials to Social Workers, Physiotherapists, and loving parents, the first Green Gecko graduates are not only well-balanced individuals but are reconnecting with their communities and creating a ripple effect of constructive change throughout society.
The Green Gecko Project is a registered organisation in Cambodia located in the northwest province of Siem Reap. It has worked with former street families, communities, Child Protection Authorities, and the Cambodian Government since 2005.
