Help teach English and support children at Aspire !

We welcome to ASPIRE organization, School - Homestay & Volunteer !

Volunteers that choose to help children at Aspire organization, ASPIRE school and homestay can expect a wholesome and rewarding experience. Volunteering our NGO organization will also allow you to be immersed in local Cambodian culture. If you look at our photo gallery, you can see various activities that the children enjoyed with our past volunteers. These activities have been created by voluntary teachers, many of whom have given their time and resources, adding to the opportunities we can offer our children, such as Khmer traditional dance, music instruments, and other school activities. We also welcome people from all backgrounds regardless whether you are fluent in English or not. This is also a great place to volunteer as a group as we provide housing for multiple guests.

We are providing 24 hour care for 20 of the 100 children from extreme poverty families in Siem Reap, free education for all the children. They range in age between 5 to 16 years old.

Aspire School Organization and Home to help for poor, homeless and orphans, is located 7kms to the east of the center of Siem Reap, on National Road 6 in Trang Village. ASPIRE is a non-governmental, non-profit organization aimed to assist children who are either orphaned, homeless, in poverty or have disabilities. We try to offer free education to children, especially destitute families throughout Cambodia .

Cambodia suffered greatly during the Khmer Rouge and genocide (1975 - 1979) this totally decimated the population, many of the remaining population being left homeless, without food and shelter. Since then Cambodia has been slowly developing. However even now, work is not plentiful here so a lot of people leave to work outside the country or in areas where they cannot take their children. These children would be homeless if it was not for organizations such as Aspire school.

We accept all volunteers as one of our own and treat everyone as part of our family. As a volunteer, you will assist teachers in teaching English to the children. However, you are also welcome to share other skills and hobbies.

If you are interested in volunteering with our program, donating, or fundraising, please contact us. We will provide all necessary details and discuss the project costs.

Our goal at ASPIRE School is to provide free education for vulnerable children and offer scholarships for local children living in extreme poverty. The scholarships we provide include three meals a day, shelter, clothing, education, and protection. Currently, ASPIRE School supports 20 children on scholarships, many of them from families in our community in Trang Village who live in extreme poverty and cannot afford adequate living conditions.

As part of our long-term vision, we plan to hire additional full-time teachers and build a larger school with two floors to accommodate 200–300 students. We have already begun construction on the first floor, which includes four classrooms, using funds from donations. However, additional funding is required to fully complete this project.

The project ultimately aims to provide education, skills training, and opportunities for poor, orphaned, and at-risk youth in Cambodia.
