Summary

This project will teach Khmer (the native language of Cambodia) to children who struggle at public school in Siem Reap, Cambodia. As a result, they are more likely to stay in school, gaining education and eventually moving out of poverty.

Challenge

Due to issues with the public school system such as overcrowded classes, lack of teachers, minimal teaching resources & corporal punishment, there are many illiterate students in our commune. When children do not know how to read and write in their native language it prevents them from moving ahead in public school, increasing the likelihood that they will drop out. This will cause problems in their future as they won't have the knowledge or skills to gain stable employment, remaining in poverty

Solution

In a period of six months our students learn how to read and write, putting them back on track at public school. We are also aim to form a relationship with the public school so we can teach the staff some techniques to assist them with their students learning so in the future there will not be a need for these classes.

Long-Term Impact

By providing Khmer classes we are investing in the future of our students. The short term impact will be increased knowledge and the ability to move up through public school. The long term impact will result in our students having the knowledge necessary to gain employment, reducing the poverty in their families.
