Our vision is to empower a generation of Cambodian children through education. Our mission is to provide the best possible start to early grade education through access to quality teaching and learning at school. The need for our work in Cambodia stems from the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime in the 1970s, which systematically destroyed the Cambodian education system, killing a large proportion of its teachers and demolishing schools. The effects are still felt today, with only 55% of girls and 52% of boys progressing to secondary school (USAID). What is more, 51% of teachers never completed high school themselves, and they leave teacher training colleges poorly equipped to teach effectively. This means that they tend to teach traditionally - 'by rote' - which does not promote exploration, deep understanding of concepts, or student engagement. Poor quality teaching is the single biggest reason for school drop-out and this is why we focus on improving the quality of teaching in classrooms. We do this through teacher training workshops, the introduction of ongoing peer-mentoring, and the development of professional communities of practice.

"Connecting Cambodian Youth to the skills, opportunities, and inspirations needed to reach their potential." This is the mission of PEPY Empowering Youth, a local non-profit (NGO) focused on educating and empowering youth in underserved and remote communities outside of Siem Reap city. With their team's intimate understanding of barriers affecting students' ability to move onto higher education (many team members are former beneficiaries of PEPY's projects), PEPY staff often become student's first role models while building their capacity to achieve their dreams through academic, technical, and professional training- enabling them to make changes they wish to see in their communities. Through PEPY, students' rates of moving onto higher education and obtaining skilled employment are increasing. PEPY's approach to education development is different because they focus on high school and higher education students, an age group often overlooked, while targeting remote areas where higher education is uncommon and often financially impossible. PEPY's programs are comprehensive and go beyond typical scholarship programs, guaranteeing that students graduate and all of them find jobs while they are still in school.
