Cambodia 🇰🇭
Almost three-quarters of the Cambodian population live on less than $7 a day, making university education out of reach for many. This is especially true in rural areas, where 90% of low-income Cambodians reside.
U-GO Scholars: 177
Almost three-quarters of the Cambodian population live on less than $7 a day, making university education out of reach for many. This is especially true in rural areas, where 90% of low-income Cambodians reside. Based upon these low incomes and massive wealth inequality, Cambodia ranks 127 out of 145 countries for female university enrollment.
U-GO aims to break this cycle by working with three Cambodian partners: the Indochina Starfish Foundation, Room to Read and The Coral Tree Foundation. U-GO is providing a lifeline for talented young women to escape the cycle of poverty through education. To date 177 talented young women now have the opportunity to pursue their education.
