Cambodia Rural Students Foundation Limited
Tips for Applicants
Align proposals with the foundation's core focus on education and youth empowerment in rural Cambodia, and emphasise measurable outcomes in breaking poverty cycles. Consider partnering on student-led initiatives or social enterprises, as the foundation values hands-on leadership development and community-managed projects.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation believes in providing a 'hand up rather than a hand out' by investing in education and leadership development for bright students from poor rural backgrounds. It emphasises student-led management, peer mentoring, and hands-on business and leadership skills development, with 100% of donations directed to education and community projects (overhead covered by corporate sponsors). The approach values empowerment, social contribution, and creating lasting generational change through education.
