Overview
This Life Cambodia is a not-for-profit non-government community development organisation based in Siem Reap that was established in 2007. Our work is focused on providing opportunities for communities to develop the essential infrastructure, skills and knowledge to make positive change in their lives and break free from poverty. TLC undertakes its work by listening to individuals and communities define their own needs and solutions, engaging with individuals and communities to address their own needs and advocating alongside individuals and communities so they are empowered to challenge inequality. TLC currently operates four programs, including the Student Assistance Program (SAP), the Lower Secondary School Development Program (LSSDP), This Life Beyond Bars (TLBB), and the Community Research and Consultancy Program (CRCP).
Background
The story from the Executive Director: This Life Cambodia was started in December 2007 while I was working for a large charity in Siem Reap. In September 2007 members of a community who had amazing dreams approached me. They wanted to start an extracurricular school in their village. I told them to come back to me when they had something to show. The community did in December 2007. Members of the community had built two classrooms out of thatching and had 200 students enrolled to study extracurricular activities; classes had already started. My initial thoughts were great; I can write a project proposal for the organization, which would then open up further prospects for development for the center. This is where it all started
