First Graders lining up for school breakfast at 6:30am. 

Yan cooks breakfast every morning at 4am for 400 kids at the Chrauk Tiek Primary School.  She volunteers because her son is in our High School Scholarship program.  She is illiterate, her son wants to be a math teacher.  He is the first Souy male to finish High School.

Bones That Float

Building Schools from the Inside Out

Our Accomplishments:

  • Since 2001 we have grown from serving 50 children to over 500 annually.
  • Out of 23 schools in the Aural Region, ours is the only one operating full-time and at full capacity.
  • We have an unprecedented 90% teacher retention rate, and 80% student rate.
  • Leadership training for our 12-member School Sustaining Committee saved two girls from abduction by sex traffickers.
  • A teacher attendance bonus makes teachers accountable to the School Supporting Committee.
  • A new library improves literacy and new bathrooms improve health and sanitation.
  • An innovative scholarship program builds community participation and sustainability.
  • Several income-generating projects to financially support the school.


2009 Interim Annual Report

The Problem:

  • Many schools in Cambodia sit empty...Why?
  • Teachers in Cambodia can't afford to teach on a $30 a month salary. Not a living wage!
  • Parents send children to work instead of school when they don't know if a teacher will show up.
  • Poor teacher attendance results in a staggering 80% student drop out of primary school.
  • Primary Education can save children from a life of poverty and exploitation in Cambodia.

The Solution:

  • Empower Communities to sustain schools that serve their children and community needs.
  • Provide teachers with housing and a living wage based on their attendance.
  • Achieve 80% student retention through community earned scholarships.
  • Establish local School Supporting Committees to contribute sustainable solutions.
  • Encourage good role models through Leadership Training.
  • Teach life skills that give students a foundation for future economic success.
