Success Program for children in primary school, Cambodia

, ,

Ensure 250 children can participate in education by removing financial barriers for the 22/23 turn.

BASAID has supported this program for several years now. The local NGO CFI (Children Future International) runs the project as part of their education campaign. The project focuses on providing practical support to children to enable them to attend school. Financial barriers prevent children from visiting public school. Even so school is free, parents have to pay for uniforms, study materials, transport and extra tuition enabling children to successfully progress with their education. Students served by Children’s Future come from very poor households, living on 1$/day. In 2021 the  “Covid challenge” continued. Schools have been closed for long periods in 2021. Education support was carried into the villages and by remote tutoring. This program will support 250 children attending Grade 1-7.
