Effective teachers are at the heart of thriving schools.
We are committed to shaping empowered, devoted teachers through mentoring and intensive training. What began as a pilot project between primary school teachers in 2004 is now a robust, enduring partnership that supports every teacher at the CFC schools. Our methods are sustainable and replicable, positioning our teachers as agents of change in Cambodian education.
As much as I have taught, I have learnt. It has been a privilege to work with these people who have lived through so much and still came out smiling.

This unique home-based teaching concept benefits both mothers and preschool-aged children.
While the young children learn to count, color and explore play, our preschool coordinator and her staff also instruct their mothers about health and hygiene, nutrition and child development. The number of mothers attending these classes has soared ten-fold since launch.
Empowering Cambodian Mothers to take a lead in the education of their pre-school children.

We provide opportunities that prepare students for life beyond the classroom.
It is crucial to equip our students with important life skills so that they can improve their economic situations and become active, productive members of their community.
Helping our students to learn the skills they need to survive today, and life lessons they will need for the future.

In an area where most of the population survives on less than $1USD/day, many families simply cannot afford to feed every child.
The Food For Thought program ensures that students attending Caring for Cambodia schools have at least two meals per day. This increases attendance, decreases illness, and ensures our students can concentrate in the classroom.
Two healthy, balanced meals every day, so our students can think about learning, not about hunger.

We can't educate a child who is hungry or sick.
Good health begins with clean water, clean hands and clean teeth. Our curriculum teaches habits at an early age that lead to long-term health and wellness for our students, their families, and the community. From lessons on oral hygiene to hand washing, small changes can make a big difference.
Seeing our Cambodian partners, first shy, then curious, then fully engaged, and then taking ownership. To me, that is the best part of this work.
