New Transformed Lives
THE VISION & GOALS
The vision is to help children to have a better life by providing additional / complementary education (which encourages them to stay at school) and to raise up future leaders for Cambodia.
The goals of the project are to –
- Help children be healthy in body, soul and spirit.
- Help children have a strong foundation in education.
- Help children have a brighter vision and positive view for their future.
- Help children encounter God and exposed to the Gospel in a real way.
We would be sharing the salvation message at appropriate times and in relevant ways throughout the program
Implementation Plan
The implementation plan to achieve the above vision & goals consists of 3 main streams –
Informal Education/Tuition/After-School Program: We provide an after-school program where we will teach our children English, Khmer (Cambodian), and Math week We tutor them for 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. Our focus will be on children between grades 1-6. We use the same curriculum as is used in the Government Schools.
Depending on the local skills and resources available, we will attempt to provide additional lessons in life skills and character building, and the goal is that the project will be self-sustaining (i.e. all operational costs are covered) after a 3-year period. This implies that we will be encouraging the local church (via an allocated budget), the local church members (via offerings), and parents (via a fee structure) to build a contribution pipeline toward the future running costs of the program. Monies being received in the first 3 years will be kept as savings and then used from Year 4 onwards when the project could become donor-independent. Also, we will provide each project site following up and advice for future running.

THE NEED:
The number of children who drop out of school in Cambodia is very high. Because of large classrooms (60 children in a classroom), children can often get to 6th grade and not even know how to read yet. In 6th grade, they are required to take a state test. If they fail the test they cannot advance to secondary school. Many parents pull their children from school if they cannot pass the test.
THE VISION & GOALS
New Transformed Lives’ vision is to provide additional/complementary education (which encourages them to stay at school and be able to pass their test) and to raise up future leaders for Cambodia.
The goals of the project are to –
- Help children be healthy in body, soul, and spirit.
- Help children have a strong foundation in education.
- Help children have a brighter vision and positive view of their future.
- Help children encounter God and be exposed to the Gospel in a real way.
