Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Recent program evaluations of our existing Vocational Training Schools in Cambodia (Computer Literacy, Tailoring) show that our schools are highly successful and have a great impact on the employability of our students. 80% of our graduated students were able to find employment immediately after completed their training.

Based on this great experience, SimplyHelp is now planning to expand our services in Cambodia by providing a motorcycle repair school. Cambodia has the highest number of handicapped people in the world, due to land mine accidents as a leftover result of the Vietnam War of 1949. General unemployment has increased resulting in a higher number of young people limited by their limblessness, who have nothing to do but become a serious issue for community development.

Because motorcycles are a primary means of transportation throughout Cambodia, there is a high demand for motorcycle repair work. By teaching young handicapped people skills in this trade, SimplyHelp is hopeful this new education program will provide students access to work that holds high potential for sustainability.

The projected budget for the construction, facilities and start-up costs is set at $110,000 (USD).

Please consider donating towards this project so that we may continue to provide Cambodians a way to rise from extreme poverty.
