Story

Gulf for Good, in partnership with a local charity partner in Cambodia, is launching a project to build a permanent English school in rural Siem Reap. The charity has been providing free English and vocational classes since 2009, supporting over 360 children aged 6–18 from low-income families.

In Cambodia, where state schools offer limited English lessons and private education is often unaffordable, this initiative bridges a critical gap—giving children language and life skills that lead to employment, independence, and a brighter future.

Until now, the school has operated on rented land, leaving it vulnerable to rising costs and instability.

This campaign will fund the purchase of land and construction of a permanent campus including classrooms, offices, sanitation facilities, and outdoor learning spaces. Once complete, it will secure the charity’s future and create a lasting educational hub for the community.

FUNDRAISING

This challenge is held in association with Gulf for Good, a UAE-based not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children and communities worldwide.

The breakdown of how donations are distributed is as follows:

75% of funds raised go directly to this charity project in Cambodia

15% of funds raised go to Gulf for Good, supporting their ongoing efforts to deliver impactful charitable projects.

10% of funds raised go to Dubai Humanitarian for their emergency response initiatives.
