Build Your Future Today

Build Your Future Today Center (BFT) in Siem Reap, Cambodia is highly committed to providing opportunities through intellectual and economic tools for people living in poverty. With a special focus on children, BFT is based on the principles that knowledge is hope and peace is development. BFT’s vision is to provide Cambodian people with the education and tools required to attain self-sufficiency and well-being. To fulfill its mission, BFT focuses on five main projects that work toward BFT’s comprehensive vision to help the Cambodian people achieve brighter futures:

Community Education Development: Working to eliminate illiteracy, BFT Center provides community education through the improvement of the quality of teaching and learning. BFT has set up a program that aims to develop schools and communities as a whole, which is put into practice through inclusive education, community participation for those who do not attend school (including non school age children), and adult literacy and life skills training.

Child Support Center: BFT Center believes that orphans and poor children deserve to grow up in a safe and secure environment in a dignified manner. BFT uses donations to provide public school education, food, shelter, clothing (including school uniforms), health service and entertainment for these children.
Community Health/Nutrition Development: BFT Center has achieved outstanding progress in improving nutrition, hygiene, sanitation, and overall health in the communities it serves. Activities such as health education classes for parents, school garden projects, and providing energizing breakfasts and vitamin supplements to poor school children are all part of this project.
Community Peace Building: Working on this project in conjunction with local monks, BFT Center works to reduce family violence. BFT provides moral education classes and access to a strong support group that offers counseling through times of hardship and crisis. It also promotes family integration.
Community Capacity Building & Livelihood Improvement: This project focuses on providing life and business skills training along with seed funding and micro-finance loans to help build a family business and break the poverty for individuals who otherwise would not have the opportunity to provide a sustainable income for their families. In turn this allows children to go to school and get an education.
