What is REEC?
We are a local team that believes in the importance of education and is dedicated to helping reconstruct our country in the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge genocide, which left us with zero education. Our focus is on providing educational opportunities for children in rural areas who lack access to schooling. We work with international partners from Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, USA, Japan, and others worldwide. Our resources are diverse and tailored to make learning both fun and effective. Our goal is to see that every child in these underserved communities has the opportunity to receive an education, offering them a crucial chance to improve their lives.
