Two million Cambodians died during the Khmer Rouge regime and their education system was completely destroyed.
Today there are roughly 3,000 villages in Cambodia which have no schools. Most children have no chance to even learn how to read and write. If they are lucky enough to get some kind of education, they must study outside in the open fields, often accompanied by rain and hot sun.
Other villages in Cambodia have very poorly constructed buildings for schools and are ready to fall down.
With your help and the help of many other people just like you, we CAN make a difference.
As education is important to all of us, SoulieJolie decided that we wanted to help the Cambodian people get the education that they need and more importantly deserve. With all of this in mind, the SoulieJolie Project was born.
In Cambodia a child only needs $5 to receive a school uniform, pen, notebook and ruler. We were surprised by how cheap this cost is compared to that of the western world so we decided not to just settle with helping to raise money for these basic needs we decided to go true ‘Jolie’ style and push the boundaries and not only giving them the basic needs but help raise money to build them a school as well.
This is no small task as we need to raise around $22,000 to $26,000.
