We are a non-for-profit charity, based in Otres, providing children and their families with an educational support centre offering school education, family support, social care, and health and wellbeing programs.
In rural Cambodia, a large number of families simply cannot afford to send their children to school and they are often left to roam the streets, sent to work on the land, collecting plastic from the beach and rubbish sites, or at home helping to raise their siblings.
We provide free education to over 100 children, from ages 5 to 16, and social support to the community, ensuring that when the children leave school they have career options to give their families a better life.

We have a partnership with a hostel in the Village that provides free dorm accommodation for our volunteers. Here you can find wifi, a restaurant and have the opportunity to meet other people travelling, working or volunteering in Otres.
We have a small onsite kitchen, used to cook meals for the children. Volunteers will get lunch at the same time as staff and the children which is before classes each day. This will be rice/noodles, vegetables and meat.
Otres has beautiful beaches to explore. The Village and the beach are popular tourist destinations with many guesthouses, places to eat and drink. There is a good music and arts scene in Otres.
A little further afield are the islands of Ko Ta Kiev, Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samleon.
