The ethnic Vietnamese children living in Prek Pneu, on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, face challenges that no child should face. Panghun and her siblings have been unable to attend school because they didn’t have the appropriate
government ID that would allow them to study in the Cambodian public school.
Imagine the life-long vulnerability not being able to access an education creates for an impoverished child.
However, this year things will change for Panghun as she will begin classes in Asian Hope’s 2Five2 catch-up school! With the help of Asian Hope she will, for the first time, be able to attend the local primary school once she is academically ready to integrate in. Not only will Panghun have the opportunity for hope and a new beginning, but her younger brother and two cousins will as well!
In Prek Pneu, where Asian Hope’s Village Development Program has recently been launched, more than half of the 3,000 children do not even attend school. Most of the children have fallen victim to, or are affected by child labor, trafficking for sexual exploitation, drug abuse, and domestic violence.
In order to equip these children with the resources necessary to be in school, Asian Hope will provide each student with a backpack, notebook, pencil, and uniform. These simple items can provide the start of hope, the start of a dream, and the start of the life God desires for them.
Every $10 given to Asian Hope will allow us to equip 1 child trapped in poverty with the essentials to attend school!* Asian Hope will also work with each student in our catch up program and tutoring programs so they can have the best chance to receive a quality education providing hope for a better life.
Will you consider giving the gift of education and opportunity to at risk children and help change their life forever?

P.S. For every $10, the cost of a stocking stuffer, you can fill a backpack and change a child’s life!
*Any funds raised beyond the current need for school supplies for this program will be used for other educational needs.
