SSI commits to fund the Education Program

100% for 2 years

75% in year 3

50% in year 4

25% in year 5.

Year 6 : Village economy sustains the Education Fund 100% through income generation projects initiated by the school committee.

 

Infrastructure requests that require ongoing payment of salaried staff to function, such as a library or an additional school building, will require that the income-generation to pay the ongoing salary expenses be in place before any major infrastructure gift is awarded.

 Triple Bottom Line: Economy, Environment, Society

Since the goal of the Sustainability Program is to eventually have the community funding its own Education Program, we work with Cambodian villagers own resources, knowledge and aspirations. 

SSI helps them form a Plan of Action and provides resources to start-up income-generating small business.
