IL NODO's mission is to empower children and young adults through high-quality education and vocational training, ensuring equal opportunities and nurturing a new generation of creative, motivated, and optimistic youth. They've been operating within Cambodian prison system since 2012, striving to enhance the living conditions of pregnant women and children accompanying their mothers behind bars, safeguarding their rights to nutrition, healthcare, birth registration, early childhood development, and education.
In 2023, IL NODO extended support to 80 infants aged 0 to 4, their mothers, and 30 pregnant women. Additionally, they run a playroom outside CC2, the female prison of Phnom Penh, where children aged 18 months and above can spend their days outside the prison cell under the care of professional staff. The funds provided by WIG are allocated to ensure food provision for as many children as possible and to facilitate monthly doctor visits for baby medical checkup and vaccinations in accordance with the national program.
