| Summary: | Our project supports education for students in Siem Reap, Cambodia through the provision of educational resources with the co-operation of Cambodia Rural Students Trust (CRST) & other registered charities in Siem Reap.
A Rotary Volunteer Team from Ivanhoe & D9790 clubs traveled in January 2025 to provide community needs such as bicycles, solar lighting and desks to support education for students in Siem Reap. We delivered over $20,000 of educational resources.
By providing desks for school students, solar lighting for night study, and bicycles to travel to school, benefited over 500 students in this very poor area. Now the provision of a scholarship for university tuition for a bright and motivated student, is our fundraising goal for 2025. |
| Solution: | We will now continue to support University student tuition fees. |
| Long term impact: | We have already:
1/ Provided tangible educational support and empowerment of teachers in a disadvantaged region.
2/ Increased awareness of Rotarians to the difficulties faced in Cambodia, and build an on-going partnership between D9790 and Rotaract Siem Reap.
We welcome other Rotary Clubs to collaborate to this much needed work during 2025. |
