The 24 Hour Race helped finance programs through 49 Cambodian NGOs by supporting Chab Dai Collection’s work with anti-slavery organisations.

Right4Children focuses on the prevention and long-term change aspect of battling human trafficking. They do this through various projects ranging from hotel training programs to earthquake rebuilding. They focus on helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, which includes former trafficking victims. Right4Children acknowledges the ease with which rescued trafficking victims tend to go back to traffickers as they face many hardships during their reintegration into society - they have most likely missed many crucial years of education, making it hard for them to find jobs, and they also have to face social stigma.

SUKA Society is a small but growing organization, one that has already inspired our student network in Kuala Lumpur through its educational and awareness programming. This year 24 Hour Race will support the operations of SUKA’s transitional shelter for victims of trafficking to Malaysia, a destination country for domestic workers, bonded labor, and the sex trade. SUKA’s shelter is designated primarily for children, so often exploited in these circumstances. This is a key resource in the government’s effort to address the human trafficking situation. SUKA’s programming at the shelters place an emphasis on vocational skill-set development, so that victims not only have a productive pipeline back into society, but are able to generate income while in the transitory shelter.
