About

The Queen Marys leader's and students are aiming to raise £11400  to build classrooms for the Futuresense Foundation in Cambodia. 

Students from Queen Mary's College will be embarking on a Global Citizenship Programme in 2022 and have the opportunity to travel to Cambodia and support the supplementary education class (SEC) Programme.

The SEC program supports children from vulnerable families, often living below the poverty line, in the Battambang region who were either dropping out of education or falling behind at school and needed additional support to learn.

The Cambodian government only offers students with 4h of education per day, forcing many families to pay for additional education for their children.

Queen Mary's College are fundraising to support the building of 3 new classrooms to accommodate 170 students.
The cost of this is $5000 per classroom which is around £3800.

The SEC programme has been jointly run by FutureSense Foundation and a local cambodia NGO Children Action Development (CAD) since 2012, and since has provided free education to around 2200 students.

The programme has proven to be highly sucessful, with the help of the SEC program 99.9% of the students now pass from primary to secondary education, while the rate for students from the target group otherwise sits around 50%.
