Twenty years ago, a dream took root in the heart of Cambodia—a dream to break the cycle of poverty through education, love, and opportunity. Today, we proudly celebrate that dream realized. Join us as we mark The Global Child’s 20th Anniversary, a powerful milestone shaped by resilience, community, and unwavering hope.
Since 2004, TGC has grown from a small vision into a life-changing organization that has touched thousands of lives. We’ve become more than just a school—we are a home, a community, and a catalyst for change. What began as a bold vision has blossomed into a powerful movement—one that has empowered students, strengthened families, and inspired a new generation of leaders.
Over the past 20 years, together we have:
-
🎓 Graduated nearly 100 students
-
👩👧 Empowered 100+ parents through training and education
-
🍲 Supported 600+ families during the COVID-19 crisis
-
📚 Mentored thousands of students through leadership, literacy, and life skills
-
🌍 Led impactful community programs focused on equality, environmental stewardship, and social empowerment
None of this would be possible without YOU—our amazing donors, volunteers, partners, and friends around the world. Your unwavering support fuels every class, every meal, and every milestone we achieve.
A Holistic Model That Changes Lives
At TGC, education is just the beginning. We know that real empowerment means meeting the full needs of our students and their families. We ensure they have access to food, healthcare, emotional support, and a nurturing environment—so they never have to choose between survival and their education.
Every day, we nourish not only minds, but hearts and souls—helping our students thrive in all aspects of life.
Stories of Resilience & Impact
From current students to alumni like Riya, Sokmao, Pengkong, and Rithy, we are constantly inspired by their courage and determination. These young leaders have overcome hardship, pursued higher education, and are now giving back to their communities with purpose and pride.
Powered by Partnerships & Volunteers
We are deeply grateful to our partners, including the Ministry of Education, SE Asia Foundation, Women’s Resource Center, and many others who recognize the value of what we do.
And to our volunteers—whether the Union College Minerva Fellows or Loann, Tomek, Anna, Jilly, and Gerry—your presence, mentorship, and dedication continue to uplift our students in immeasurable ways. You are the soul of our community.
As we look ahead, our mission is as urgent and vibrant as ever. With your continued support, we will keep building a future where every child has the chance to dream, learn, and lead.
Join us in celebrating this journey—and help shape the next 20 years of impact. Consider making a donation, sharing our story, or becoming a part of our global community of changemakers.
Stay tuned for our 20th Anniversary Celebration this June, along with special videos and student stories that show exactly what your support means.
