Feeding Dreams Child Sponsorship Program
With over 800 impoverished children and youth enrolled in our Education and Welfare Programs, we rely on our Child Sponsorship and Education Sponsorship Programs to keep our classes running.
Each child attends their local Khmer school for only a few hours a day and is provided with very basic formal schooling. This alone is not enough to break through the poverty cycle. Government teachers are often underpaid and will offer extra lessons which requires extra payments from the students. Other payments are required to sit exams, to park their bikes or for extra snacks. The underprivileged cannot afford these payments and quite often get left behind and drop out of school early to earn a minimal living collecting rubbish, thereby repeating the poverty cycle of their parents. YOU CAN CHANGE A LIFE TODAY. Break the cycle and sponsor an individual child for only US$50 / AU$80 / GBP£40 / CAD$65 per month (tax deductible) and you will allow Feeding Dreams Cambodia to offer each child:
⦁ Assessment. A member of our dedicated team of social workers assesses the needs and challenges of each family of sponsored children, creating an action plan to address the identified issues and support needed by the family through every step of the way.
• Financial assistance for public schooling costs, welfare services provided to them and their family to keep them in the education system, along with all costs associated with attending Feeding Dreams.
• Community support. Our Community Support department assists with many family issues such as accessing vital identity papers, bikes for students to get to and from school, school uniforms and ongoing medical prevention such as immunisation and worming.
• Your kind donation helps assist your sponsored child and their family access extra education needs they could otherwise not afford.
• Family assistance with housing and job opportunities
⦁ English language lessons, allowing access to a huge range of employment opportunities inaccessible to non-English speaking Cambodians. English is not taught in the public school system.
⦁ Computer lessons. As the children of impoverished families, your sponsorship provides their only access to computers and the vital skills fundamental to good jobs in a modernising economy. In the public Cambodian school system, young children have no access to computers at all.
⦁ Daily meal and clean water. It’s hard to study when you’re hungry, or ill from malnutrition and waterborne diseases. Around 30% of local impoverished children are underweight, and 45% stunted due to nutritional deficiencies. Your generous sponsorship ensures access to filtered water and a nutritious meal every day at Feeding Dreams.
⦁ Accredited Maths, and Morality, Health, and Hygiene lessons. Essential education in work and life skills. Enabling students to understand their basic human rights, helping them recognise and avoid violence, exploitation and trafficking.
⦁ Art and Sport. Organised sports and art allow for the development of self-expression, critical and creative thinking skills, teamwork, and motivates students to enjoy learning. The public school system does not provide any form of sport or physical education for children in the curriculum.
⦁ First aid treatment and medical support. All students have access to lifesaving support for problems that would likely otherwise go untreated.

Meet PO Sreypich! Sreypich comes from a desperately poor family, living with 9 other family members including several younger siblings on the public roadside in Tavien village where located 5 minutes from Feeding Dreams Cambodia.
(Sreypich, standing second from the left with stripe shirt)
This bright young woman dreamed of changing her life. She came to Feeding Dreams to supplement the very basic education she was receiving in public school. Attending Feeding Dreams allowed her to study and advance English, learn computer skills which helped her successfully earn a high school and university scholarship. She worked really hard and was the top of her class both in her Khmer public school and at Feeding Dreams.
She received a bachelor degree in Sales and Marketing from University, and now has a good position and benefits working for a private real estate company in Siem Reap.
We are so proud of Sreypich’s accomplishments, especially in how she has managed to break the cycle of poverty in her family. She is the main income earner in her family of many members, is the only person in the family that gain higher education and being the role model for her little family members, who are all attending at Feeding Dreams these days.
By becoming a sponsor, you can help to significantly increase the odds of breaking the cycle of poverty for other deserving families. https://www.feedingdreamscambodia.ngo/sponsor-a-child/

Sophal joined the educational program at Feeding Dreams Cambodia (FDC) in 2014 when she was just 10 years old. Like almost all of our students, she came highly motivated and appreciative of everything Feeding Dreams offered, which has been life-changing for her. Sophal comes from a vulnerable family living just 10 minutes away from FDC. She is the oldest of three children, and like many others in her village, her parents cannot afford the cost of schooling for their children. Becoming a sponsor can provide opportunities for children in similar circumstances to Sophal. Today, Sophal has transformed from a little girl who was once an FDC student into one of FDC’s valued elementary school teachers. Through her hard work and dedication, she has achieved what would have been nearly impossible given her family circumstances. Sophal loves her job and is uniquely suited to understand and help young students, just as she was helped by others at Feeding Dreams. She is a perfect role model for the young people in her village, showing them how their lives can improve and how they can live their dreams.
A Feeding Dreams sponsorship is a wonderful way to help a deserving young person get a head start and for you to feel you are making a meaningful difference! Sophal works at Feeding Dreams during the day and attends university at night to become an architect. She’s thrilled, and in 2 years, she will achieve her dreams. We thank you for your support, which empowers Sophal and challenges the societal custom in Cambodia that often requires the oldest daughter to sacrifice her education to support her family with various work within and outside the home. By helping Sophal, you are not only changing her life but also inspiring a change in societal expectations and empowering future generations. Feeding Dreams is proud to share this news and photos of Sophal, both from before and now, with more updates to come in the near future! Thank you, Josh
