🏢 About the local organisation
Siem Reap province is known as a tourist city in Cambodia for its most famous world heritage Angkor Wat and hundreds of temples in this province. Most people might think that Siem Reap people must earn and develop more than other provinces. In reality, Siem Reap province is one of the poorest provinces in Cambodia. Since 2013, CYA-Khmer Smile School was started to provide English course to local children and teenagers. By seeing the needs of the poor in the village, House Building project also started to build the house for the poor family, and donating some foods for hungry people in this rural community. We believe that through working together, we can make this community a better place and help our children to create their better future. Khmer SmileSchool aims to provide free access to informal education for the local youth, teenagers, and children in Spean Chreav community, Siem Reap province where their parents generate income to support families by being a tuktuk driver, moto taxi, farmers, and fishermen as many of them are uneducated. In 2016, we plan to re - constructing our school building according to the needs of the students, establishing handicraft center, set up new library and computer center. CYA is continue working help poor families to fix their house and build toilet. One special activities during the project is “Cambodian Real Life Experiencing” We provide International volunteers chance to experience the living life with local families.
