The Cambodia Project: Building Sustainable Communities Through Secondary Education

Overviewteamupdatesworkspacecalendarfiles 
 

The Cambodia Project Inc. (CPI) works with local communities and NGOs to provide high quality secondary education through replicable and sustainable school models, high quality education and better trained teachers in rural Cambodia. To achieve our objective, CPI has identified three supporting pillars of comprehensive healthcare, environmental sustainability and economic sustainability. Based on this system, each school will become financially sustainable, self-reliant, and locally managed after year five. The Cambodia Project will work with three communities south of the capital Phnom Penh: Kep, Takeo and Kandal. We estimate that within five years, CPI will directly and indirectly impact over 100,000 children, teachers and staff, community members and their extended networks in Cambodia. The community will gain from access to income generating activities within the schools, as well as the presence of a skilled and educated youth population.

Today, The Cambodia Project team comprises 84 members representing eight professional disciplines. The Cambodia Project most recently traveled to Cambodia from March to April 2009, and from April to September 2008 for a field mission that was targeted at creating a viable model for holistic education, comprehensive healthcare, green construction, and economic sustainability.
