We Educate, Inspire, Support, & Lead

At The Global Child, we believe that education is the first step toward breaking the cycle of poverty and oppression. Our mission is to uplift Cambodia’s most vulnerable children by equipping them with knowledge, confidence, and opportunity.

Sopheak Pon Never Believed She Would be Able to Escape Poverty

“The Global Child pulled me from darkness and changed my life! TGC is not only a second family but serves as a bridge to my future.”

Sopheak joined the TGC family in 2013, after having to put schooling aside in order to help her family. During her time at TGC, she excelled in school and acted as a mentor to her family and community. In 2022, she graduated from TGC, receiving a scholarship to attend Build Bright University to study business management.

  • 100% of donations fund education, meals, mentorship, and life-changing resources for our students.
  • We don’t spend a cent on U.S.-based salaries, rent, or administrative overhead.
  • Every contribution creates real, measurable impact—from classrooms and scholarships to leadership training and community outreach.
