The Chelly Foundation

Über uns

The Chelly Foundation, founded in 2015, is a nonprofit organization improving the education of children in Cambodia. The Foundation was established by Mr. Jason R. Baron who currently lives in the United States. Jason’s goal with the organization is to keep alive the generous spirit of his mother, Chelly Baron, who passed away in 2012 from multiple sclerosis in the care of my sister Nan Nop and others.

Our Mission is to help bring about positive changes in people’s lives through literacy, education and other means. It means that the Foundation gives poor students in my home village and others a chance to get a better education in order to be productive members of society.

A number of projects have been set up in Chumkiri District, Kampot Province, including in my home village of Snay Anh Chet. Many children in Cambodia, especially in rural areas like Chumkuri, drop out of secondary school or don’t go to college because their parents don’t have the ability to support their learning. Lack of education is a main reason that Cambodia currently lacks adequate human resources.
