What We Do

At Children’s Charity Cambodia, we take a structured, transparent, and community-led approach to improving safety and wellbeing in rural and remote schools. Our work goes far beyond playgrounds — it starts with understanding the full picture of a school’s needs and ends with long-term, measurable impact.

Our Support & Engagement Programmes

International School Programme

We connect schools in other countries with rural Cambodian schools. Students learn about:

The challenges Cambodian children face
Differences in school facilities and daily life
The importance of global empathy and community

Partner schools can fundraise, follow the project they support, and see the real-world impact of their efforts. We also encourage cross-school messaging, allowing children to ask questions and learn directly from one another — building awareness of the wider world.

Buy a Coffee, Build a Playground

Local and international coffee shops can support our work through a simple monthly donation.

In return, they receive:

A plaque showing their support for Cambodian children
A meaningful CSR story their customers can engage with
Increased customer loyalty through visible community impact

This programme turns everyday purchases into long-term change and helps promote our campaigns to individual donors.

Partnerships, Grants & Donors

Alongside community fundraising, we actively seek:

Corporate partnerships
Foundation grants
CSR collaborations
Individual major donors

These partnerships allow us to scale our impact, reach more schools, and address urgent needs more quickly.

Our Goal

To ensure that childhood fun never comes with the risk of serious injury, and that rural schools — no matter how remote — are seen, assessed, and supported.

One school.
One playground.
One safer childhood at a time.

Playground Programme

Site Visit & Full School Assessment

Every project begins on the ground.

We visit schools identified as being in urgent need and carry out a comprehensive assessment, not just of the playground, but of the wider school environment. This includes:

Playground equipment safety and condition
Access to safe drinking water
Sanitation and toilet facilities
Availability of educational and sports equipment
General school safety, furniture, and learning spaces

Rural and remote schools are often overlooked, meaning their needs go unseen and unsupported. The data we collect is carefully documented and shared with our partner NGOs, foundations, and support networks, helping them respond more effectively in areas we may not directly provide — such as WASH, education resources, or health initiatives.

Where possible, we also visit neighbouring schools in the same area to assess conditions and determine urgency. This ensures funding and support reach the schools that need it most, faster.

Playground Programme

Campaign Appeal – One Playground at a Time

Once assessments are complete, we launch a public fundraising campaign focused on a specific school and a specific need.

We intentionally work one playground at a time.
We do not fundraise endlessly without delivery.

This approach ensures:

Clear goals
Tangible outcomes
Donor trust
Immediate impact

Supporters know exactly what they are funding, where it will be installed, and how it will change children’s lives.

Project Delivery & Donor Updates

When a campaign is funded, we move straight into action.

Donors are kept informed throughout the entire process, including:

Equipment ordering
Removal of dangerous, rusted structures
Site preparation
Installation of new, safe, durable equipment

Transparency is central to everything we do. Supporters don’t just donate — they follow the journey from danger to safety.

Playground Programme

Impact Statement & Documentation

Once a project is complete, we gather:

An impact statement from the school
Photos and documentation of the completed work
Feedback from teachers and parents

This ensures accountability, celebrates success, and allows donors to clearly see the difference they’ve made. Each completed project becomes proof of what’s possible — and a foundation for the next one.
