This Life is a community-driven organisation based in Cambodia that works alongside children, women, families and communities to improve the lives of children and young people. One of its core initiatives focuses on supporting children living in prison with their incarcerated mothers through its Child Friendly Spaces program. Developed in partnership with communities and prison authorities, this initiative creates safe, nurturing environments within prisons that enable children to grow, play, and develop while maintaining a close bond with their mothers. This Life also works to prevent unnecessary child-family separation and provides reintegration support for women and children transitioning out of the prison system. The organisation’s work is rooted in local consultation and evidence-based approaches, with a strong commitment to child rights, family preservation, and long-term social change.
