Welcome to
Aspire School - Homestay & Volunteer
We are currently in desperate need of any help we can get after being hit really hard by COVID-19, as it has meant we’ve lost most of our volunteers and sponsors. We are currently behind on payments for our credit/loans and fear that we might lose our property if we do not fulfill these payments. If you are interested in volunteering, please do not hesistate to contact us. If you are unable to volunteer, monetary donations are desperately needed and would be extremely invaluable to the school.
Aspire School
ASPIRE Training & Education is a non-profit, volunteer-run school and home for poor, homeless, and orphaned children in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Since 2012, it has provided free education, life skills, and a safe living environment through the support of donations and volunteers.
Volunteers play a key role in teaching and engaging children in activities like English, art, music, and traditional Khmer dance. All contributions help cover basic needs like food and electricity.
Everyone at ASPIRE lives simply and shares a strong sense of community, working together to build brighter futures for the children.

Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of trust, and a feeling of responsibility–these three forces are the very nerve of education.
