Every year thousands of tourists visit the famous temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. But despite the tourism Angkor Thom Reap province is one of the poorest regions of the country. Only a few kilometers outside the city people are living in poverty, many are illiterate and many families having less than one dollar a day. There is a bad infrastructure and a lack of educational and health facilities. People have almost no chance to escape the cycle of hunger, poverty and ignorance.

 

Therefore the German Organization “Hilfe für Kinder in Kambodscha e.V.” has built the Angkor-Thom Junior-High-School in Peak Sneng. It is taking care for the running costs and takes the responsibility to give the children, adolescents and young adults access to a qualified education and vocational training including health conscious, environmental and ethical lectures.

 

So many young people get a chance to shape their and their families future into a happy and dignified life. Only this way can contribute to a lasting reduction of suffering, misery and exploitation in Cambodia for future.

 

Only together with many open hearts, we have had the opportunity to build this project in order to help these lovely people and bring happiness, confidence and success in their lives.
