Sponsor a student
Enabling young people in rural Cambodia fulfil their potential
Here are our students who could do with some help
Why sponsor a student?
Here we propose a few of our students who need. One teacher (who many students call mom) has selected these students who she considers to be in the most financial difficulty, with a risk of giving up school and not completing their education. She presented this list to the Director, who we asked to review.
Some key points
- Average wage in Kampong Thom Province is $150 per month (£120)
- Farmers will probably earn less than this
- These students are all from poor backgrounds
- Many of them live in dormitories, where they have to feed themselves and wash their own clothes
- A school uniform of skirt or trousers, shoes and shirt is $15. (£12)
- Students try to take extra classes, they cost $8 per month per subject. £6.50)
- We have a list of 17 students at the moment, out of 1250 at the school / institute
We are looking for £10/$12 per month per to sponsor a student. For a 10 month school year. Whether you can afford one month or a year we would love to hear from you. For one year, you can select which student you sponsor. You can donate monthly or all at once.
