Our founding partner, Navitas, has supported our Child- Friendly School Program in rural Battambang, Cambodia since 2014. Navitas supported the development of seven child-friendly schools in this region which were completed in October 2016. Navitas is currently supporting the development of four additional child-friendly schools and has also funded the building of a brand new school in Battambang. Navitas also supports our STEM4Women program and has provided 11 young women with STEM scholarships. STEM4Women seeks to empower girls and women from disadvantaged families to participate in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) studies in 2- year tertiary vocational degrees in educational institutions in Cambodia and Thailand. “The ability for education to break cycles of poverty and illiteracy are well known and we hope that through this project we can help many people improve their lives significantly,” Rod Jones Group CEO of Navitas
