We invite you to join us! The goal of the Cambodian School Project is to prepare poor children in rural Cambodia to succeed in Cambodia’s changing economic landscape. These children and their families still live as they have for hundreds of years, growing rice and vegetables on small plots of land. Literacy is unimportant in this way of life and school attendance gives way to farm chores. As Cambodia is modernizing, farmland is being sold to speculators. These children will not have land to farm and are at grave risk for poverty.

To help these children, we have built four elementary schools and adopted a fifth. We support 1,000 elementary children in our schools with books, supplies, clothing and food. We are teaching skills that will allow them to thrive in the modern world - basic literacy and English - important skills to employers. In 2009, we had our first graduates from our first rural school. Over the last six years, we became part of that farm village. We put in a well. We taught and then employed some of the poorest young women there to make the school uniforms we give to all our students each year. We planted trees and improved the school grounds. This helped change attitudes toward going to school. Almost every student who began first grade in our school graduated from sixth grade. All could read, write and do arithmetic. All learned some basic English. We gave the poorest graduates bicycles so they could make the commute to high school. We want to do this at all our schools. We invite you to join us. Every dollar donated to our project goes directly toward educating school children - we do not deduct expenses from donations. We have trusted confederates in Cambodia and on our board who insure honesty and fairness in our funding. We work with teachers and parents to set goals. We provide one of the best values available for those who give to charity. Come and visit our schools to see for yourself. We are near Siem Reap, a city with good tourist facilities and close to Angkor Wat. We will provide interested visitors with translation and transportation to our schools. We invite you to join with us to give these bright and energetic children opportunity for a good life, and hope for a better future.
