Sponsor a Child in Cambodia - A More Balanced World

While two thirds of Cambodia’s women are literate and the literacy rate is even higher among men, statistics show that nearly half of Cambodia’s children drop out of elementary school, close to 25% of 3^rd graders cannot yet write a single word and more than 20% of its female adolescents does not attend school.

Education in Cambodia is free for the first 12 years, but 63% of Cambodian youth are out of school. It is against this backdrop that AMWB begins to nurture students in elementary school, to prevent them from dropping out, and supports them through higher education.
