education
The children in our target region are often malnourished and neglected, many parents are illiterate, and poverty is very high. To ensure that the children receive a good education and have a chance to find their way out of poverty, much more than a new school building is needed.
With a holistic concept, we are ensuring that this goal is achieved.
seed's holistic approach to problem solving:
lack of well trained teachers
our response >
-
Teacher training/workshops

With our catch-up program we provide after school lessons (English, Khmer, Math) to review and deepen the subjects
