Save poor Children in Asia Organization (S.C.A.O.)

Qui sommes-nous

The Save poor Children in Asia Organization, S.C.A.O., is a Cambodian non-profit, non-government organization that houses and educates poor young children in Cambodia.
With the generous contributions and donations from various volunteers from around the world, S.C.A.O. was built and officially opened on December 5, 2007. Since its creation, S.C.A.O. has evolved into a wonderful environment where children and volunteers can feel at home, learn, play and prosper.
It consists of two main ideas: Education and Community Services

Our Mission
To fight poverty by supporting children on their way to education, social integration and self-responsible citizenship

Our Vision
To enable the disadvantaged to help themselves in a sustainable way. We believe that education is the very foundation for this goal. Therefore, all children must have the opportunity to receive an adequate education and to learn a vocational skill of choice. The integration into society and the labour market is the last step to independence and responsible citizenship supported by S.C.A.O..
Additional goals are to:
• Build branches of S.C.A.O. throughout the country
• Develop vocational training schools for disadvantaged children living both at the Center and in surrounding areas
• Reach out to the community through educational awareness campaigns
• Building bridges among the advantaged and disadvantaged communities in Cambodia, Asia and the world
