Reach Out To Educate

The mission of Reach Out to Educate (ROTE) is to support education for financially disadvantaged youths in rural Cambodia by providing funds directly to students, and by supporting educational opportunities that will contribute to Cambodia’s future.

Reach Out to Educate is a non-profit public charity incorporated in the state of Maine and receiving tax-exempt status in September of 2009.

We help students by supporting those children who are likely to drop out of school because their family can not afford to pay the fees, can not buy a uniform or shoes, or may need the child to work in the rice fields.

Your donation goes directly to the student and their family for clothes, stationery, and other needs associated with education. The child must maintain adequate grades and attendance in order to receive continued support. Our organization is run completely with volunteers both in the USA and in Cambodia, so 100% of your donation goes to support a child's education. Learn more about where the money goes here.
