Sponsor a Scholar Program - Teachers for Tomorrow

Without an eduction, breaking the cycle of poverty in Cambodia is virtually impossible. Many young people are swept into a life of forced labor and sex trafficking. Others rely on subsistence farming and many have no land. Large areas of the rural countryside still hide millions of unexploded land mines, deadly reminders of the country's war-torn history.
More than 92 percent of Cambodia's youth never receive a high school education. That must change. With your help it will. Cambodia's problems can be solved.
Teachers for Tomorrow has responded to this challenge by supporting scholarships for teenagers and villages in crucial areas of need. It began supporting its first class of scholars in 2012 and is working to fund more scholarships for at-risk Cambodian teenagers every year. These students are eager to learn and it only takes $400 a year to provide them with the class fees, books, uniforms, bicycle and daily lunch required to attend high school.
Meet our scholars, hear their stories * and learn about the hopes they have for their own lives and the future of Cambodia. We have also provided you with a page that makes sponsorship quick and convenient. Act now. The scholars need your help.
Sponsor a Village Program
Much more needs to be done to help Cambodia overcome its position as one of the poorest countries in the world and begin to take its place alongside other Asian nations that are so quickly advancing. That's why Teachers for Tomorrow is also providing services to poverty-stricken rural villages.
Your village sponsorship brings English classes, water wells, hygiene kits, bicycles, vertical vegetable gardens and more to areas that desperately need immediate help. You can begin to improve the future of a village in just moments by starting your sponsorship here.
If you are searching for the best ways to help Cambodia, village sponsorship through Teachers for Tomorrow will have a lasting impact.
