Mission & Vision
Why we do what we do
In Cambodia poverty is declining, but economic growth benefited the non-poor more. 41% of the active population survives with less than div USD a day. Consequently many young Cambodians must drop their studies, move to neighboring countries, and end up working in very difficult conditions to send some money home. 80% of the population lives in rural areas and 50% is under 25. Most of secondary education is provided on a fee-paying basis, and is therefore inaccessible to most students, especially in rural areas.
- Invest in digital talent by providing IT education to children in underserved populations in Cambodia for a period of 3 years to enhance their chances in the digital economy
- Provide a platform to support talent by to develop their soft/business skills
- Enable these talents to support their families and local communities and reinvest in the program
- Wealth and opportunities are not equally spread globally, but talent is
- Education creates opportunities to develop talent
