Get in touch today Meet the Jongra Community, Cambodia We believe in the meaningful empowerment of communities to not just participate in our programmes, but to assume leadership in them. Each philanthropic gift we receive supports sustainable, community-led education projects. In 2014, thanks to two wonderful philanthropists, we were able to give the children of Jongra Community, Cambodia, the opportunity to go to school for the very first time. Through our community-led approach, we worked with the Jongra Community and the Government to build a school and then develop, through capacity building programmes, an education provision that met the whole community’s needs. Then, when we were confident in the local community and government’s ability to maintain the school and provide a quality education, we left. In 2020, UWS Jongra School officially transitioned into community and government ownership, sitting within the national education system. Our school transition model addresses both the issue of dependency on international aid, and the aim to empower, by integrating schools into the national sector with a locally-led, government funded approach. In this way, we secure the sustainability of Jongra school for future generations to come. Get in touch Read next Leave a legacy Become a Global Guardian Manage Cookie Preferences
