Cambodia Charitable Trust

About Cambodia Charitable Trust

Phnom Penh Cambodia, Tauranga NZ & London We are a voluntary organization registered with the Charities Commission. We work in partnership with the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. In addition to direct support for schools, our team on the ground in Cambodia provide teacher and director (school principal) training across the country to improve the availability of higher quality education. We have an MOU with the Ministry of Youth, Education, and Sport in Cambodia. Education is the largest lever for social change in Cambodia. Education breaks the poverty cycle, protects girls from sex slavery, boys from slave labour and opens the door to a bright and purposeful future for each child. ACCT supported schools are a beacon of light in a poor, Cambodian village. By working with families, we remove the barriers to a free, quality education. By working with teachers, we provide the support and resources they need to become more effective in the classroom. It is a powerful combination, and it works. We work closely with ministerial staff to help them achieve their educational goals of free education for all children up to Grade 9. We have a positive working relationship with them and have won their respect over the years. They will sometimes send well known NGO’s to visit our schools as an example of what is possible. We currently support twelve primary schools, four secondary schools and two teacher training colleges in the Takeo and Kampot provinces of Cambodia. These schools need ongoing support, and there are many unsupported schools that we could transform with your help.
