Mission
Growing Cambodia’s mission is to give rural Cambodians an opportunity to break the poverty cycle through education, health and well-being support.
Over seven hundred students now attend free English lessons at schools in 4 rural villages. These lessons are conducted by local Cambodian teachers and Growing Cambodia provides financial support for the teachers to attend university. Students leaving our schools are also offered University sponsorships – 11 students are now being supported at various Universities in Cambodia. Growing Cambodia also provides scholarships for students to attend public school at each of the four villages if their families are unable to afford the mandatory uniforms to attend. This program has become very successful with Growing Cambodia providing over 50 scholarships to students in 2021-2022.
Growing Cambodia believes education is crucial in empowering the current generation to improve their standard of living as it helps individuals make more informed choices about their future. Many students miss out on a proper education because they are required to work to support their families and/or their families simply cannot afford the cost of education. In addition to attending public school, learning to speak and read English creates more employment opportunities for students in the tourism and business industries upon completion of their studies.
Our ultimate goal is for the schools and villages to become self sufficient with an improved quality of life for the whole of the community. This involves not only education, training and the development of skills that provide opportunities for higher incomes but also includes better health care, clean drinking water and a sustainable environment for the villages.
With more funding we believe we can expand and use our model to provide an opportunity in other rural villages throughout Cambodia.
