3. Main
activities/programs:
The MKK
Project supports two main education programs, including: 1) Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Skills in the Hospitality (Kitchen, Food and Beverage,
Housekeeping and Front Office), Electronics (air conditioner repairs and CCTV),
Mechanics (car and motorbike repairs) and Beauty Salon (Make-up and Barber) are
provided to support students in learning skills that are carefully chosen based
on job market demand in Cambodia. This ensures employability for trainees after
graduation. In addition to skill training, trainees receive accommodation,
allowances, healthcare, and other benefits. They also have the opportunity to
participate in additional learning activities such as preparatory classes, and
soft and life skills training. The TVET curriculum is technically designed,
with students' learning assessed through a structured evaluation process.
Beyond acquiring technical skills, trainees also have the chance to live as a
team and share experiences with each other.
2) Child Education (CE) supports students at two drop-in-centers by providing the scholarship packages,
teaching dancing, Khmer traditional music, and teaching Khmer, Mathematics, and
English. These efforts aim to help young students from Kampong Cham province for
their school studies. Additionally, the CE program offers an Early Childhood
Care and Development (ECCD) kindergarten for children aged 3 to 5 from poor
families, giving them the opportunity to start early education. This initiative
helps foster their physical, emotional, and spiritual development.
1. Project goal: To enhance the quality and access to primary education
by increasing enrollment and retention of school children. 2. Project
objectives:
Communities benefit from enhanced learning opportunities
for children and access to reliable water and sanitation.
3. Main
activities: The Co-Saved project works based in Koh
Kong Province focused on providing basic services in education and WASH. It
recognizes the connection between access to quality education, a clean living
environment, and overall quality of life. There are two main activities in the
project such as; Increase enrolment and improve quality of learning, and Implement
WASH enhancements. There are two main project programs to help and support the
beneficiaries, as follows:
A) Increase enrolment and
improve quality of learning for primary school children in CO-SAVED target
schools. The project recognizes that educational opportunities are
limited. One of the greatest opportunity costs for children is the need to
stay at home and help their parents generate income. By increasing access
to productive and decent work, the project aims to assist these parents,
thereby enhancing their ability to send their children to school. To
retain these children in the education system, the project will focus on
improving the quality of both formal and non-formal education.
B) Implement WASH enhancements (latrines, hand washing
stations, curricular improvements) in CO-SAVED target schools. The project aims to improve the water, sanitation, and
hygiene (WASH) situation in target schools, as safe water and sanitation are
key prerequisites for child-friendly schools. The project will work as partners
with local authorities (LAs), local communities (LCs), and civil society
organizations (CSOs) to develop effective, and efficient responses to WASH
needs in schools. These WASH activities include building latrines, installing
handwashing points, and implementing behavior change activities.
