CLS is located in the Chumkriel Commune of Kampot Province. The Commune, a few kilometres east of the town of Kampot, is home to over 1,000 families who earn meagre incomes labouring in the rice paddies and the salt fields, or on construction sites.

Many homes are basic shelters, often without a toilet or running water. And for many children transport to school is over gravel roads by bicycle – or a pair of legs!

After paying for food and basic living expenses, family income may be inadequate to pay for uniforms and basic school supplies. This, and a failure to appreciate the value of education, can see children fail to complete schooling. 

Help us give children an education: US$50 buys a child a uniform and school supplies for a year! US$60 buys a child a bicycle to get to school!
