| Summary: | Our project seeks to support education for students in Siem Reap, Cambodia through the provision of educational resources with the co-operation of Cambodia Rural Students Trust (CRST).
A Rotary Volunteer Team will travel in January 2025 to provide community needs such as bicycles, solar lighting and desks to support education for students in Siem Reap. The team will assist teachers and mentor students where needed, to build skills and self-determination. |
| Challenge: | By providing desks for school students, solar lighting for night study, and bicycles to travel to school, the 500 students in this very poor area will benefit. Also provision of a scholarship for university tuition for a bright and motivated student, who we hope to support in the future too. |
| Solution: | Expressions of interest to volunteer on the project in January 2025 are welcomed via emailing the Project Manager below. Also through donating to educational supplies such as desks, resources, solar lights and bicycles. |
| Long term impact: | 1/ To provide tangible educational support and empowerment of teachers in a disadvantaged region.
