Enabling young people in rural Cambodia to fulfil their potential
To Grow An Orchid helps children in Cambodia through IT education and student funding. Here is how you can help.
Sponsor a student
A school director identifies the poorest students who are at risk of leaving school. For £10 / $12 per month you help a student eat, buy books and clothing. Their parents are supportive but the financial sacrifice is real — your contribution removes that barrier. Many students live in dormitories or with relations in a local village as it is too far to go home at night. They have to clean the dormitories, wash their own clothes and cook for themeselves. We have seen students get ill because they don’t want to ask their parents for money for food.
You can read about some of the students we have supported. Their lives can be tough. Their parents are typically farmers working long hours with little to spare
.
Fund an IT class
$25 per week provides IT education for up to 30 students. You can sponsor a week, a month, or a term. This pays for a teacher to deliver classes in email, internet use, Google and safe social media — subjects not taught in the school curriculum.
Corporate sponsorship
We welcome corporate sponsors for larger projects — from teacher training to IT infrastructure. If your company wants to make a meaningful contribution to education in Cambodia, get in touch.
We try to ensure the balance in our IT classes is close to 50-50 between boys and girls. In our most recent delivery, 73% of students were girls. Corporate sponsors committed to gender equity in technology will find a natural fit here.
Donate
All donations are accepted through PayPal. You can specify how we spend your contribution — student funding, IT classes, pens and stationery, or a specific project.
