Nonprofit, apolitical, nonpartisan, effective social change in recovering war-torn nations.

The Global Child is a nonprofit school based in Siem Reap, Cambodia, that gives bright, enthusiastic, street working children, hungry for an education and a wholesome future, the opportunity to pursue a progressive and rigorous course of study in a nurturing and empowering environment. Education is one of the main building blocks of development. Our organization contributes to Cambodia's development by providing this to talented and underprivileged children.

Our students are provided health care, food, shelter along with a dollar a day which we've found is the necessary amount to maintain high retention rates.  Street working children are often the bread winners of their families and will never be able to fully pursue their education unless the family is compensated in some way. Retention rates are important because we are committed to each student until the end of their educational career and make sure they have two feet on the ground before leaving The Global Child school.

We are opening a cafe and gift shop named "Joe To Go" and have opened a single benefactor luxury hotel called "La Petite Indochine" which both send 100% of their profits to The Global Child.  Joe-to-Go, along with La Petite Indochine, are two projects that we plan on using to create a sustainable funding base for The Global Child within the next 3 years.
