The Cambodia Project

Sunday, August 23, 2009

I got word sent to me from Yong who's down at the NYCAASC about the Cambodia Project who's starting a new initiative - participating in the Global Open Access Challenge 2009 hosted by Global Giving - and it sounds like a great project.

For the next month (until September 18th) the Cambodia Project is participating in the Global Open Access Challenge 2009 hosted by Global Giving. If we succeed, it will be a crucial stride towards fulfilling our goal and bring a better life to the children of rural Cambodia, With the right support, CPI has the potential to benefit over 100,000 Cambodian children by improving the local economy, creating jobs and ultimately undoing the damages done to the Cambodian education system by the Khmer Rouge.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The Cambodian government, NGOs, and UN agencies, while focusing on primary education, do not expend much energy on secondary education. Our programs, with the right support, will directly and indirectly benefit over 100,000 Cambodia children over a 10 year period by improving the local economy, creating jobs and ultimately undoing the damages done to the Cambodian education system by the Khmer Rouge.
Activities

The funds will be used to begin constructing our first school in Kep/Kampot. Part of the funds will help build clinics to provide health-care & regular vaccinations to children/staff. Pilot plan will have 30 students, growing to 980 students in 1yr.
For more information and to donate, see the Global Giving site as well as the Cambodia Project.
