The Cambodian Children's Advocacy Foundation: Bringing Preschool Education to Rural Cambodia
The Cambodian Children's Advocacy Foundation (ccaf-khmer.org) runs 18 pre-schools in rural Kampot Province, Cambodia. They provide four- and five-year-olds with basic math and literacy skills, along with nutritious meals and medical checks. Only one in seven Cambodian children attend school before age six, so there is a pressing need for this successful program to be expanded and replicated. ChangeStream Media (ChangeStreamMedia.org) supports grassroots NGOs, using social media and digital productions to connect them with support and expertise around the globe, while raising awareness in their own communities. ChangeStream Media would like to thank the people and organizations that helped with this video: Hing Channarith, CEO of the Cambodian Children's Advocacy Foundation Charlene Bredder, PhD The students, parents, teacher at the Tuk Meas preschool, and the village chief.
