Kalenthea, Banteay Meanchey Province, Cambodia

Pov, Kalentha Primary School

Pov is a 14 year old girl. She lives with her mother in Banteay Meanchey province, Cambodia and studies in grade 5. Her father has left for Thailand to try and find work as a Fisherman. Her parents can't afford to send her to school so she works with her mother in the fields planting Cassava for a local businessman and catching fish.

Pov said, “I have no hope to finish my study because my mother can’t afford me to go to school. I really want to come back to school and have a good chance the same as the other girls."

For just US$320 we can send Pov to school for a year which includes food at school as well as a school uniform for $10, school supplies for $10 and a bicycle for $50 to get her to school (it's 8 kilometres from her home).
