Welcome to The Savong Foundation Cambodia

The Savong Foundation works to provide Cambodian students with the opportunity to complete a high school education and continue towards earning an undergraduate degree with the ultimate goal of becoming professionals in their communities.

We work closely with Future Bright International School to place our students in an appropriate grade level, as well as coordinate with universities for our more advanced students. We proactively recruit deserving female students who would otherwise be denied an education opportunity.

We also provide food and lodging for extremely impoverished students or for those who do not have family living in the Siem Reap area.

Your support is needed and greatly appreciated.

Are you a manipulative nonprofit?

If you're an animal lover, you’ve probably seen them in your Facebook and Twitter feeds; photos of tortured, abused and very sad looking animals that need our help. I have a lot of friends that do animal rescue and I keep an eye on animal nonprofits and so I see these photos constantly....
