One act of giving will open doors decades down the road
Students often ask KCEO founder Him Marin when they will be able to attend computer classes. So many children are eager to learn how to navigate the digital tools necessary for higher education and better employment, and yet, the 17 villages KCEO currently serves share one computer classroom with only eight refurbished laptops.
KCEO has a community of incredible students that have a thirst for knowledge and a hunger to learn – and dedicate their time every evening to do so. The material needs to provide this education are great, often requiring personal sacrifice; to register KCEO as a non profit, founder Marin Him sold a cow to fund the purchasing of the license.
Generous donations from friends near and far are what keep our lights on. Thank you for helping to make education for all a reality.

Impact Details:
Your Impact
- Ten dollars sponsors one month of education for a student.
- Seventy five dollars sponsors one teacher’s monthly honorarium. Much of the staff are former top students who grew up in the KCEO community, who were then trained in teaching and leadership before stepping into their current roles. Many use the extra income and weekly professional development as a springboard towards further education and career opportunities.
- Five hundred fifty dollars sponsors a latrine building and toilet to promote a safe and sanitary learning environment.
- Two hundred twenty five dollars purchases a used computer that can live in a village classroom and enable students to learn how to type and navigate Microsoft Office programs.
- Other regular operating costs include monthly electricity and broadband access, tables and desks for students, voltage stabilizers for classrooms, and white boards. All are hard to come by, but are essential for making this work possible.
Contribute
Donations and sponsorship can be made on a one-time or re-ocurring monthly basis through our Patreon. Donors can choose between general contributions and contributions towards specific causes.
Please note that KCEO is not an approved tax-deductible organization in the USA. We are looking into the possibility of becoming one. There are non-profits that offer a service to funnel donations through their 501c3 status permitting donations to be tax deductible, but they provide the service at high cost. After recent changes in Cambodian tax laws, we have been advised not to pay those fees at this time.
Volunteer
You can also support KCEO through volunteering or interning on a short-term or long-term basis to help teach in the classrooms or assist with pedagogy and curricular development. You can be a volunteer in Cambodia or raise awareness and fundraising while overseas.
