DONATE NOWBSDA is a Cambodian run NGO, established in 2005 in response to criticism from the villagers around the Wat Nokor Bachey temple west of Kampong Cham City. The community felt that the monks would preach altruism in theory but hardly ever practice it. Deeply hurt, seven Monks founded the organization, financing it privately throughout the first three years until their work was noticed and international donors started to provide funding.

Channa, once facing significant hardships, found hope through BSDA's programs. With access to education and vocational training, she transformed her life, becoming a role model in her community. Her story exemplifies the impact of our initiatives on individual lives.
At BSDA, every success story is a testament to hope, opportunity, and transformation. Many of the children and youth we support come from vulnerable backgrounds—facing poverty, family hardship, or health challenges. Through access to education, vocational training, life skills, and emotional support, they discover their potential and build a better future. Our graduates go on to higher education, meaningful jobs, and even leadership roles in their communities. These stories reflect the real, lasting impact of our mission in action.
