“M’Lop” means shade or protection in the Khmer language. The Tapang tree, also known as the umbrella tree, provides shelter from the elements.
It was in 2001 that Maggie Eno found herself on an unexpected trip to Cambodia that she witnessed young children sleeping under the Tapang tree nearby the beach. Unable to turn a blind eye, Maggie soon discovered the huge gap in services to children and youth who were living on the streets, unprotected and vulnerable to all forms of abuse and exploitation.
Working alongside some key Cambodian colleagues, her and a small team of other motivated individuals decided to address this critical issue and provided basic protective services to those children.
Now, M’Lop Tapang is a child protection organisation that provides holistic services to over 5,000 children and youth, their families, and their community. Maggie and her team are ardent believers that children should grow up safely within their families so the organisation is firmly focused on strengthening families and their community.
Discover Maggie's journey in Cambodia and the life changing work of M'Lop Tapang in this episode of Philanthropod.
