1. Background of the Problem
In Phnom Penh, thousands of students dream of completing high school, vocational training, or university. However, many come from low-income families who struggle to cover:
School and university fees
Books and learning materials
Transportation costs
Accommodation and daily living expenses
Despite strong motivation and academic potential, many students are forced to drop out of school due to financial hardship.
Education should be a right—not a privilege.

Dreams and talents are lost
