Education Centre for the Community is a free school for children aged 4 to 17, located in Po village, Siem Reap. Established in 2014 by Savuth and Savon, ECC is driven by the belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.
ECC is a 100% volunteer run project without any government or outside funding. Led by an experienced team, we offer before and after school lessons, as well as volunteers who support local elementary schools.
Our focus is on providing quality education to children who would otherwise not have access to it. We believe that by investing in their education, we help these children build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
Through a formal and empathetic approach, ECC actively engages in fundraising and seeks sponsorship opportunities to sustain our operations and expand our impact.
“Join us in our mission to provide free education to children in need. Together we can make a difference and empower these young minds for a better tomorrow.”
Savuth is the husband of Savon and is the executive director and co-founder along with his wife of the N.G.O Education Centre For Community which first opened it’s doors in 2014. A skilled engineer who can design and build whatever is needed.
Savon is the wife of Savuth and the Director of communications but is mostly known for being the head of the home at ECC and is everyone’s MAMA! When she is not at the helm of the household you will find her at the meetings with other N.G.O’s.
Channa is a perfect example of why gaining a good knowledge of other languages can help further development. The daughter of Savuth and Savon, Channa was a student at ECC and is now attending University in Sisaket, Thailand.
Teachers, builders, fundraisers and administrators — there is room for all of them here.
