Cambodia Rural Students Trust

Breaking the poverty cycle through education

EMPOWER

INSPIRE

By giving people a hand up rather than a hand out, we sponsor bright students from poor rural families, to study at the best high school and university in Siem Reap. Our mentorship, life-skills and business-skills experiences, form the foundation of an empowered life and social contribution.

BOOK LAUNCH

Empowered

a new generation of leaders

by Aviv palti

Empowered is the inspirational story of rural youths in Cambodia who empower themselves and their families from poverty to middle class in eight years.

CRST is managed on the ground entirely by our students, who receive daily mentoring on managing an organisation. They are also mentored as they manage several projects and enterprises – all designed to give them hands-on business, leadership and management skills

What makes us unique?

CRST is managed on the ground in Cambodia by our senior students, who are mentored in managing the organisation and Social Enterprise Projects by a group of Australian business volunteers.

100% of donations are used for education, mentoring and community projects. All overhead costs are covered by a corporate sponsor
