The Challenges of Children's Education in Cambodia
By Impact Radar Editorial
Not every Impact Radar Programme is based in Singapore, and not every Programme routes through a Singapore IPC. Funding a School in Cambodia (Phase 2) sits under our Children Education Cause in partnership with Smiling Gecko, a Swiss-registered charitable association.
The Kampong Speu context
Cambodia has made meaningful progress on primary school enrolment over the last two decades. But roughly one in three children who start primary school do not complete it.
Why primary education matters
Primary school is where the lifetime trajectory is set. Quality matters as much as access.
The Smiling Gecko model
A primary school + farm-school + on-site clinic as an integrated rural community project. The school serves 240 students.
How Singapore donors can contribute
Donations to Smiling Gecko are not tax-deductible in Singapore — we surface this clearly on the Programme page. Giving is a conscious choice for donors who care about under-served communities beyond Singapore. [DRAFT]
