When it comes to getting to school it is hard to find a group of children more eager and willing than those of the Cambodian countryside. No matter the distance, they go out each day and make their way to the school grounds. Unfortunately for many, their families are faced with the choice between letting their children go to school and needing them to work in the fields. It is a simple equation of time; 8 hours in school + 3 hours round trip to walk = Not enough time to work the fields and secure that years harvest. Having bicycles allow the children to make it to school much quicker and still have time to help their family in the fields.

It may sound like a hard burden for a child, but the whole family is aware of how having that education will help the entire family to prosper. Read More Gifts That Matter

For $55 you can insure that a child has the opportunity to go to school.

While our staffs at ACO are working in an area doing assessments, they will inquire about any families whose children are in need of a bicycle to make the distances to school. As the bicycles are acquired by ACO, we will deliver the bicycle to the most appropriate family. Often a family will have more than one child going to school so they will double up on the bike. Imagine an attitude where a thought is not given to the chance of a tumble on the way to getting an education. There are 2 sizes of bicycles that ACO supplies and the size chosen is based on both the families current needs and their future needs as the children grow. Back
