View series overview

Re&Act and Child’s Dream established an agreement in 2020 to provide quality schooling at primary, secondary and high school level and to ensure a safe and secure learning environment in remote communities in Northern and north-western Cambodia.

By 2025, through our support, Child's Dream aims to build 35 weather-resistant high-quality schools (benefitting 6,000 students), establish 10 state-of-the-art computer labs (benefitting 4,000 students), and provide 350 students with scholarships.

Students in white uniforms study together at a table under a tree. They focus on workbooks, displaying concentration and collaboration in a school courtyard.
Two young girls, seated at desks in a classroom, are focused on reading books. They wear white uniforms, conveying a sense of concentration and learning.
A group of children in white shirts sit at wooden desks outside. One boy smiles, holding a chalk drawing of a house on a slate. The scene is cheerful and lively.
A beige and blue building with a red-tiled roof sits under a bright blue sky with fluffy clouds. The area around the building is bare dirt.
