Why Give?

Donating to Sambour Primary School is more than an act of charity, it is an investment in real, lasting change for children, families, and the future of Cambodia. Every dollar given provides essential resources for learning: textbooks, classroom supplies, nourishing meals, and basic health support. In a rural area where many families struggle to meet daily needs, these contributions make the difference between a child attending school or dropping out entirely.  The consequences of children not attending school in Cambodia are grim.

 

At Sambour School, students don’t just learn to read and write, they learn to care for their environment, take pride in their community, and contribute to a better future. Education here means more than facts and figures; it builds self-worth, opens opportunities, and breaks cycles of poverty. The ripple effects are powerful: educated children support healthier families, more resilient villages, and a generation better equipped to meet the challenges facing Cambodia today, from environmental change to economic instability.

 

But the benefits of your support don’t end in Cambodia. A stronger Cambodia contributes to a more stable, prosperous Southeast Asia, one of the most strategically significant regions in the world. As the West seeks to maintain positive relations and regional balance, long-term partnerships built through education, development, and human connection are more important than ever. By supporting schools like this, we are not just helping children, we are building goodwill, fostering mutual respect, and strengthening democratic values in a region where the U.S. has vital interests.

This is how we shape a better world: one classroom, one meal, one child at a time. Your generosity brings immediate hope to a small village school, and lasting benefit to both Cambodia and its partner countries throughout the world.
