Every child has the right to live and learn
Getting an education is not just a basic human right, it‘s the key to breaking the poverty cycle.
But in Cambodia, many families live on less than $2 a day and can’t afford to have kids not working.
As a result, almost 60% of children don’t finish primary school, let alone high school. Low English language and literacy skills condemn many to the impoverished life they were born into.
We built a school for those who need it most
Since 2012, Step2Foundation has worked with rural communities to ensure children who will gain most from quality learning, have that opportunity.
In the beginning, we repaired run-down school buildings in Svaychey village and educated our first local teacher. Since than we have built a flourishing school and community projects with the help of our generous supporters. We now have over 300 children attending school every day.
The Step2 Foundation school now has:
9 New
Classrooms
14 Trained
Local Teachers
A Library
& Toilet Block
Furniture
& Computers
English Books
& Essential Supplies
Safe & Clean Drinking Water
School & Surrounding Villages
A Nutritious Breakfast including

Meet Somros Kong
Hi, I am Somros Kong. I am 15 years old and live in Svay Chey Village, Siem Reap, in Cambodia. I really love studying English and I plan to take English literature course.
When I was studying at ACE GEP level 3, I made lots of friends. I learned how to communicate with people and study English. We also had clean water to drink which is supported by Step2 Foundation.
It was really exciting to study with very nice teachers without having to pay. Since we are living in the countryside, we do not really have money to study English.
We are really lucky to have Step2 Foundation. I had a lot of positive experiences and one of them was interacting with friends and native speakers in English.
Thank you Step2 Foundation.
