Information<br />
The trend regarding how long the children/youth spend on the streets before getting<br />
registered at the Damnok Toek (Goutte d’Eau) service centre in Neak Loeung points<br />
to a notable result, with a majority of the children/youth spending around one year on<br />
the streets before reintegration. The general result of the data analysis reveals that 8.3<br />
percent of the children/youth spent less than one year, 80 percent spent one year or<br />
more, and 11.7 percent were not able to provide information on the matter. The fact<br />
that the children/youth spend relatively long periods of time on the streets indicates a<br />
persistent need for them to provide an income for their families, given that the majority<br />
of them are SWC.<br />
Comparing the result to last year’s survey there has been an increase in the percentage<br />
of children/youth who spend more than one year on the streets, from 34 percent as<br />
identified in the SCP 2008 to 80 percent this year. This result reflects a general need to<br />
target the street children/youth population in Neak Loeung.<br />
