Community First’s Education Access Program provides both students and teachers with the critical learning and teaching resources they need.
School supplies are expensive and make up a large part of a household’s yearly expenditures, often cutting into a family’s already tight food budget. We provide children from financially distressed families with student kits in order to ease the financial strain. The kits include the mandatory and expensive school uniform, without which a child is denied the opportunity to learn and hope for a better future.
In addition to student kits, Community First also supports teachers with resources such as books, manuals, maps and other accessories commonly found in Western classrooms. These are all too often non-existent in Cambodian schools. We look forward to expanding this educational support program, by providing in-depth training to teachers in collaboration with institutional partners.
