Flame, Cambodia

Flame is a well-established charity in Cambodia which has grown rapidly since its inception.

Based on the concept that an education leads to a better life, it began with a mentoring scheme partnering educated young adults with young children. Mentors are often those who were beneficiaries of the scheme themselves, providing children in low-resource income areas a role model with proven success!

Flame runs Activity Centres

Which serve to provide study assistance and extra tuition to all children in the community – even those not officially enrolled on to their programme. Classes are given in Maths, English, Computing, Khmer (the national language of Cambodia), as well as in dancing and music, providing invaluable benefit to children who may have missed years of schooling due to poverty, helping them to catch up with their peers. Flame also ensure that no child leaves the centre without having something to eat; every child receives a meal and a carton of milk when they visit. Students are more confident in their communication among their peers and teachers, and have dreams of their own futures and of what they can achieve.

BGF funded Flame’s fourth Activity Centre in Phnom Penh

Attending to children from the Boeung Trabek community. What started out as a temporary makeshift classroom consisting of plastic tables and chairs is now laid with concrete and has a roof. Walls will not be erected in order to give the structure an open and welcoming setting. The idea behind this visibility is so that the classroom is viewed as being as accessible and approachable to children in the community as possible. Upcoming developments also include setting up solar power to run security lights at night, providing sustainable and affordable energy for the facility.
