Palmera Projects
Cambodia
Palmera supports sustainable initiatives in Cambodia. Measured by both income and broader human development indicators, Cambodia is among the poorest countries in the world. Poverty in Cambodia is characterized by low income and consumption, poor nutritional status, low educational attainment, less access to public services including school and health services, less access to economic opportunities, vulnerability to external shocks, and exclusion from economic, social and political processes. The relatively high prevalence of HIV/Aids in Cambodia is an additional challenge to the current human development situation.
April 2009 - April 2010
Palmera Projects, in association with ACE Cambodia developed, managed & funded a program to manage and fund a sustainable high quality teacher-training program in VDCA. VDCA is an English school for the poorest children in the district and currently has over 600 students with 8 teachers.
