Campaign Launches to Fund Life-Changing Education and Healthcare for 50 Cambodian Children
Why Cambodia? Why Now?
Cambodia is still grappling with the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime, which decimated over 2 million lives-including its educated class-between 1975 and 1979. Today, nearly 45 years later, access to quality education and basic care remains limited for many in rural communities.
Smiling Gecko is changing that narrative. Inspired by the Swiss education model, this award-winning organization delivers holistic support to vulnerable children: education, vocational training, medical care, and family aid-all on a self-sustaining rural campus.
This summer, Smiling Gecko plans to welcome 50 new students-but urgent funding is needed to make it possible.
"Each child's full-year support costs $3,900," said Will G. Foussier, founder of AceUp, a leadership development company partnering with Smiling Gecko. "This includes everything from tuition to daily meals and medical care. Together, we can give these kids not just a classroom, but a chance at a future."
How You Can Help
Whether it's a $5 donation or a major philanthropic gift, every contribution moves the campaign closer to its goal. In return, donors can unlock unique perks across five commitment tiers, including:
- Personal letters from children and founders
- Invitations to exclusive fundraising events in New York City
- Executive coaching programs valued up to $12,000
- Luxurious experiences in Cambodia, including private tours and chef dinners
- A classroom named in your honor for $50,000 donors
"This is more than a donation," added Foussier. "It's an investment in hope, dignity, and lasting change for an entire generation."
Your Impact at a Glance
- 50 students sponsored with full tuition, healthcare, meals, and emotional support
- 500+ current students already benefiting from Smiling Gecko's model- Family-wide change through parent vocational programs and community support
