We started a new industry to build concrete tanks to harvest rain water at schools, water in every class room. We found pond water used by animals and well water often with heavy metals to be health risks. Rain water made a major improvement in children's attendance and health in general. 379,965 children benefit in 913 schools. More tanks are built daily according to donations.
Education
YourAid funds teachers daily classes for some 2700 kids in English, computer skills and Mandarin. We also fund Khmer ABC for pre-schoolers and for older children who missed out on a government education. Three mobile Libraries are mobbed daily by eager students. Government supplies some staff to support our mobiles. English debating competitions build confidence.
Dental Clinics
YourAid has opened three dental clinics, each with a committed team of dentists and assistants. Volunteers have travelled from all over the world to help. We also run a mobile dental clinic to reach outlying schools. Our buses bring kids to the dental clinics for treatment. You can’t get a good job without front teeth.
