Major Achievements 2006-2008
CCAF has identified enormous gaps in many services within the area it will operate the program. These gaps cover all fields, especially the ECE program, health care, nutrition for rural young children and community development. More than 70% of Cambodian children, aged 3-5, who are living in rural villages, do not have the opportunity to join ECE classes. This is due to a lack of funding to establish ECE classes in locations they can access. In order to respond to this gap, CCAF was able to establish the ECE program by creating an ECE main center including five village based pre-schools and an ECE mobile classroom to serve more than 600 rural children. Home visits to provide counseling to parents have also been implemented.

Fundraising Activities

The school has confirmed the amount that they have raised throughout years 2007 and 2008 and has committed to continue to raise funds for CCAF in the future.
