Aspire School - Home & Volunteer !

Welcome to ASPIRE organization, School - Homestay & Volunteer !

Volunteers that choose to help children at Aspire organization, ASPIRE school and homestay can expect a wholesome and rewarding experience. Volunteering our NGO organization will also allow you to be immersed in local Cambodian culture. If you look at our photo gallery, you can see various activities that the children enjoyed with our past volunteers. These activities have been created by voluntary teachers, many of whom have given their time and resources, adding to the opportunities we can offer our children, such as Khmer traditional dance, music instruments, and other school activities. We also welcome people from all backgrounds regardless whether you are fluent in English or not. This is also a great place to volunteer as a group as we provide housing for multiple guests.

Aspire School Organization and Home to help for poor, homeless and orphans, is located 7kms to the east of the center of Siem Reap, on National Road 6 in Trang Village. ASPIRE is a non-governmental, non-profit organization aimed to assist children who are either orphaned, homeless, in poverty or have disabilities. We try to offer free education to children, especially destitute families throughout Cambodia .

Cambodia suffered greatly during the Khmer Rouge and genocide (1975 - 1979) this totally decimated the population, many of the remaining population being left homeless, without food and shelter. Since then Cambodia has been slowly developing. However even now, work is not plentiful here so a lot of people leave to work outside the country or in areas where they cannot take their children. These children would be homeless if it was not for organizations such as Aspire school.

We are providing 24 hour care for 20 of the 100 children from extreme poverty families in Siem Reap, free education for all the children. They range in age between 5 to 16 years old.

This is an ongoing project to support and educate children, with the goal to increase our care and education for the growing number that need our help, therefore the financial aid / support is very important and necessary especially now as the cost of living has increased. We ask for your help, which can be given by:-
volunteering to work with the children,
fundraising (also please feel free to discuss your fundraising ideas with us),
building materials (to continue the construction of classrooms),
monetary donations (to cover daily living and also reduce the loan amounts, financial reports are available on request)
All donations of any amount are received with gratitude. (receipts issued)
Remember with your help, these children can have a brighter future and we are proud to share that some of the older children have been able to go onto University thanks to the help of supporters and sponsors.

We accept all volunteers as one of our own and we treat everyone as part of our family. As a volunteer, you will be assisting the school teacher to teach English to the children. However, you are more than welcome to teach them other cool hobbies as well.

If you are interested for volunteering with our program, donating,or fundraising, please
