COUNTRYSIDE SCHOOL


Running in 2015, our first countryside school project locate in Cheur Teal Chrum village, Trapoang Chor commune, Aural district, Kompong Speu province. The school building was constructed of wood and built by local villagers.
The first building of the school is 8m by 5m and build in March 2015 and use as our main classroom. The building is possible through a generous donation from Cambodians, and French and fundraising through online and charity concerts by Khmer Magic Music Bus. The classroom can feed around 30 to 40 students per class. The second building is donated by Watkinson School and used for our office, teacher room, and meeting hall. The third building is built by KYC and used for stage performance. 



ABOUT OUR CLASS

1. English Class:

The school has 5 hours of English class per day. 2 hours in the morning and another 2 hours in the afternoon is for kids' class. The kid's class divide into 7 levels and there are pre-school, grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, and grade 6. The class starts from 8 to 10 in the morning and from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. For an adult, the class is only one hour in the evening from 5 to 6pm and divide into 13 levels from ESL0 to ESL12. Because we have only 1 classroom, so we divide into 2 different groups. One group, studies from Monday to Wednesday and another group from Thursday to Saturday. Until now we have around 300 students who study in our school and they come from different villages in Trapoang Chor commune.

2. Computer Class:

Besides the English class, we also provide 4hours of computer class per day. The class starts from 11 am to 3pm. The course starts with Typing skills in Microsoft office word, excel, and PowerPoint. All the class in our school is free of charge.
In the community, there is no electricity yet, so we use solar power and laptops for our computer class and electricity supplies. Lack of computers for students, we can accept only 4 students per class. We hope to run more laptops when we have sponsors or abilities to purchase more. 


3. Other Program:

Besides English and Computer class, we also provide Leadership training and dance class for our students. Our dancing students already perform in many school events such as Khmer New Year, Anniversary,  and other ceremonies.
The idea is to want to educate young people to know about their own arts and culture and spend some time entertaining themselves. 









LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Karuna Youth Cambodia’s aim is to transform underprivileged youth and children into passionate, engaged young leaders who will work to transform themselves and their own communities. 

Our focus is to help these needy youth and children to become leaders by providing regular leadership training programs to students in Aural and Chreav Communities and our scholarship students in Phnom Penh. As the result, some of our students become youth leaders and school leaders to run our education center programs.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM


Karuna Youth Cambodia( KYC) is dedicated to educating and empowering poor youth and children in Kampong Spue Province, Cambodia. 

KYC works directly with local communities where we establish our education centers to identify students who show motivation, merit, and need. 

We provide funding, training, and mentoring to lead students through secondary school to higher education, acquiring the skills they need for a sustainable future. Since 2016, we have provided fully funded scholarships to 8 students from Aural, Kampong Spue to pursue their high school education at university while 6 others have been provided free accommodation to continue their high school education.

CHARITY PROGRAM


Having the basics such as uniforms, school supplies, and bicycles for transport enable children in our communities to attend school and secure a future for themselves as well as their families. 

Many of them we work with come from underprivileged families in Aural and Chrev Communities in Kampong Spue province. 

To help them succeed in KYC, through the support from individual donors, private companies, and organizations, we can provide the basic necessities for the children. However, due to the increase in several students attending our schools we are not able to provide for each child equally which means we need you to help us to get more school supplies and study materials for both the schools and children.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP


To help Karuna Youth Cambodia be able to sustain: 



KYC has been operating Rainbow Homestay for locals and foreigners including volunteers to have a peacefully relaxed short-term and long-term stay at our beautiful and colorful cozy wooden home by providing delicious local food and rememberable village live experiences. 

There is no minimum or maximum rate of stay at our Rainbow Home. Guests pay for the stay as a donation at any amount to help us run both homestay and the schools. In addition to that, we teach our students to produce souvenirs and handmade products to sell during national or charity events. 


Our goal is to become a social enterprise by: 
1. Run community shop 
2. Operation a tour service 
3. Providing jobs opportunity for our local villagers.

HEALTH CARE PROGRAM


Good health begins with clean water, clean hands, and clean teeth. Good health is crucial for everyone. We cannot teach children and youth who are sick. We want to see our students learn what being healthy means. 

With the support from Medical Partner and a generous group of students and individual donors, this program aims to provide every student with free toothbrushes and toothpaste, medical checkup, and treatment. 

In addition, teachers and groups of medical students and medical partners help to demonstrate how to brush correctly and conduct lessons on good oral and living hygiene.
