About the aid project in Cambodia
The school attendance of children from poor families often is irregular and their performance is below average. This is why CO-OPERAID reaches out to nine primary schools and twelve kindergartens with a population of 1’700 school children in Sameakki Mean Chey District with «Komar An II» (reading children). There, we combine the didactic approach for improved quality teaching and child-friendly schooling with effective support for the poorest.
A holistic approach takes care of a sustainable improvement of primary schools and kindergartens: On the one hand, CO-OPERAID invests in infrastructure and equipment. On the other hand, specialized training of teachers provides guidance for more child-friendly teaching methods and a didactic approach. Combined with the improved capacities in the school management and most importantly better inclusion of parents this leads to tangible improvements and better studying results. In all our activities, we put the improvement for the weakest and poorest students first. So that their way to school doesn’t translate into an insurmountable obstacle. And a successful school completion with good grades looks more likely.

A beneficiary tells
«I am studying in grade 3 of the primary school. I like school and am studying hard to become a good student. My parents encourage me to attend school regularly. They are farmers and fishers and can neither read nor write. My favourite subjects are the lessons in our school library. I really enjoy borrowing books and reading them at home! I read them myself and together with my younger brother and am teaching him to read. I also tell the stories to my parents.»
