Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in Rural Cambodia

In 2024 Trailblazer was able to construct two school buildings for the villages of Kok Chan and Tapang to accommodate the growing student populations. These school buildings were made possible because of the generous investments of donors made through a valued and long-term business partner.

Since 2005, Trailblazer has built 10 primary school buildings and two kindergarten school buildings. Each primary school is designed to accommodate 480 students and each kindergarten 180 students. These schools mean life-changing advancements for the education of students in these rural Siem Reap province communities.

To date, I believe it is safe to estimate that 40,800 students, if not more, have graduated from the 10 primary schools since 2005. And over the past 14 years an estimated 4,320 students graduated from the kindergarten schools, moving onto the next level of their education.

That is a significant number of students who have had an education because of generous donors who contributed to Trailblazer’s Education Program. Additionally, bicycles have been distributed to students of these schools so they can get to and from school.

These students are no doubt using their education to participate in helping reduce poverty and improve not only their families’ livelihoods, but also the progress of their own country.

We are proud of these accomplishments and are deeply thankful to all the donors who have made education accessible to these rural students through bicycles and school buildings in which to study.
