Homestay School - Ang Ta Som
The Homestay School is located in Preytheat village, Leaybo commune in Tramkak district near to a small town, called Ang Ta Som, about a 2 hour drive south of Phnom Penh.
It is fully equipped with a library, two toilets and a handwashing station.
Chan Teap School - Takeo
Our newest school, including a well and toilets was completed in October 2015.
It was built with the proceeds from the sale of the Banyan Tree Organization building in Phnom Penh (in December 2011, Patti Lee, Barbara Seagram and their Bridge Group from Toronto, Ontario raised enough funds to rebuild a new, larger two-storey school).
Battambang - Phnom Sampov
In March 2015, this school was built as a result of a generous donation from HTS Engineering in Toronto, Canada.
Moving forward, it has now become one of the Banyan Tree Organization schools supported by the fundraising efforts of Patti Lee and Barbara Seagram and the generosity of their bridge club members!
Taprom Village - Kampot
We are thrilled to announce the completion of our fourth school which opened January 22, 2018!
The teachers welcomed 158 students who were eager to attend.
April 2018: Currently 176 students are enrolled for Khmer, English, Maths and library activities.
The students too quickly learned how to properly wash their hands at the wash stations.
