In rural Cambodia, thousands of children want to go to school - but poverty stands in the way. Many families simply can’t afford the basics: uniforms, stationery, backpacks, or even the transport needed to get their children to class. When you’re earning just enough to cover tomorrow’s meal, sending a child to work in the fields can feel like the only practical choice.
The ACTS (Assisting Children to School) programme is changing that!
Help a child break free from poverty
For many parents, the idea of long‑term education feels out of reach. The immediate need for income overshadows the hope of a different future. ACTS walks alongside these families, helping them see that education is the key to breaking the generational poverty cycle.
With your support, ACTS removes the biggest barriers to schooling by providing:
-
Backpacks and school stationery
-
Uniforms and footwear
-
Bicycles for children who live far from school
-
Extra tuition to help students catch up and stay engaged
These simple resources open the door for children to attend - and complete - primary school. And with that opportunity, their dreams suddenly become possible.
Real Lives. Real Impact
More than School Supplies
ACTS doesn’t stop at getting children into the classroom. Students are also invited to join Happy Club, an after‑school programme where they:
-
Hear Bible stories
-
Play games and sing songs
-
Build confidence and friendships
-
Journey alongside our ACTS team, who share openly about Jesus
Caregivers are encouraged to attend parenting courses, where they learn practical ways to support their children’s education and development.
Here’s what your ACTS donation can provide
$50 - Backpack & Uniform
Provide a backpack filled with stationery, uniforms, and footwear. For many families, these setup costs are the biggest barrier to sending a child to school.
$200 - Bicycle
Gift a bike to a student who lives far from school, giving them a quick, safe and reliable way to get to class every day.
$600 - Full Sponsorship
Cover one year of full support for a child - all essential school supplies, extra tuition and participation in after‑school Happy Club - where they build connections and hear about Jesus.
Education breaks the poverty cycle
Education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the poverty cycle. Without it, many of these children would grow up illiterate, with limited opportunities and the same financial struggles their parents face. But with ACTS support, they’re now dreaming of becoming teachers, shop‑owners, accountants - and believing those dreams are possible.
Your generosity gives children in rural Cambodia more than school supplies. It gives them hope, dignity, and the chance to discover their God‑given potential.
