Child’s Dream, founded in 2003 and active across the Mekong Sub-Region, runs a transformative scholarship program in Cambodia that supports marginalized youth in accessing quality secondary and tertiary education. Since 2011, the program has empowered thousands of students from impoverished backgrounds by combining financial assistance with ongoing coaching and life skills training designed to foster leadership, critical thinking, and career readiness.
The high school scholarship component supports motivated students throughout their secondary education, providing comprehensive support including tuition, living expenses, and extra-curricular training in essential skills such as communication, teamwork, time management and goal setting. Graduates benefit from improved social mobility and enhanced opportunities for further studies or meaningful employment. These scholarships not only reduce financial barriers but also build students’ confidence and readiness to contribute to society.
The university scholarship program nurtures academically strong young adults attending Cambodian universities. It offers tuition and living support alongside capacity-building workshops focused on job market preparation, personal development, digital literacy, and effective communication. Through this holistic approach, students are equipped to successfully transition to the workforce and assume influential roles in their communities.
A strong emphasis on gender equality and community impact is reflected in the student body and alumni network. The program produces graduates who become responsible leaders and positive change-makers. Regular monitoring and evaluation ensure the scholarship schemes evolve to address emerging challenges effectively, sustaining their long-term impact.
