Bones That Float

Building Schools from the Inside Out

Our Accomplishments:

  • Since 2001 we have grown from serving 50 children to over 500 annually.
  • Out of 23 schools in the Aural Region, ours is the only one operating full-time and at full capacity.
  • We have an unprecedented 90% teacher retention rate, and 80% student rate.
  • Leadership training for our 12-member School Sustaining Committee saved two girls from abduction by sex traffickers.
  • A teacher attendance bonus makes teachers accountable to the School Supporting Committee.
  • A new library improves literacy and new bathrooms improve health and sanitation.
  • An innovative scholarship program builds community participation and sustainability.
  • Several income-generating projects to financially support the school.


2009 Interim Annual Report

The Problem:

  • Many schools in Cambodia sit empty...Why?
  • Teachers in Cambodia can't afford to teach on a $30 a month salary. Not a living wage!
  • Parents send children to work instead of school when they don't know if a teacher will show up.
  • Poor teacher attendance results in a staggering 80% student drop out of primary school.
  • Primary Education can save children from a life of poverty and exploitation in Cambodia.

The Solution:

  • Empower Communities to sustain schools that serve their children and community needs.
  • Provide teachers with housing and a living wage based on their attendance.
  • Achieve 80% student retention through community earned scholarships.
  • Establish local School Supporting Committees to contribute sustainable solutions.
  • Encourage good role models through Leadership Training.
  • Teach life skills that give students a foundation for future economic success.
