The Aspire NGO-non-profit organization is a home and school for poor, homeless and orphaned children, located on the National Road 6, Trang Village. We’re providing 24 hours care for 20 of the 100 children from extreme poverty families. We support them shelter with 3 meals per day, Khmer lesson, English language, computer training courses, Khmer traditional dance, building construction, planting vegetables gardening, raising chicken, playing soccer, volleyballs and clean up the school environment,…etc.

The most critical project for Aspire right now is building school our own land to ensure the children have a place to live when our current.

The Aspire has built three school buildings, four English classes, three computer classes, and one traditional Khmer dance school. We plan to build an additional 2 levels-floors of school with eight rooms to accommodate 300 to 400 children from the poorest families, providing English education from kindergarten to high school. Therefore, we have designed a school construction for these children, we need help the funds to start for building project.

Aspire Home & School

The Aspire school is a non-profit government organization, volunteer-run school and home for poor, homeless, and orphaned children in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Since 2012, it has provided free education, life skills, and a safe living environment through the support of donations. The volunteers play a key role in teaching and engaging children in activities like English, art, music, and traditional Khmer dance. All contributions help cover basic needs like food and electricity.

Everyone at ASPIRE lives simply and shares a strong sense of community, working together to build brighter futures for the children.

Day-to-day costs are required still!

At the time of writing this page, we are experiencing real hardship. The level of tourists’ donations is currently not enough to cover the cost of daily food for the children and their care-givers, let alone their government school fees and uniforms. We are really struggling from day to day. However, we are looking to the future and trusting that life.
