Better education
Improve child and youth education, for people from all walks of life, in our targeted communities.
About ECC
Every child deserves a safe place to become themselves.
ECC (Education Centre for Community) is an organisation established to develop, support and promote education in a better way — for children and youths in rural and remote communities, regardless of their social status, enhancing their standard of living.
ECC believes that every child deserves the right to build their identity in a safe environment, free from prejudice and discrimination of any kind.
The school was created in 2014 by Savon and Savuth in a suburb of Siem Reap and registered with the Ministry of Interior on the 10th of February that year. It has been run by volunteers ever since, without government or outside funding.
