Welcome to
First CCC Members
Bi-monthly Meeting
1 April 2014At KSSA/ICF Center
Who are we?
PEPY = Promoting Education, emPowering Youth
Our vision: All young Cambodians empowered to achieve their dreams
Our mission: To work with young people, to invest time and resources, connecting them with skills, systems and inspiration necessary to achieve their goal, raise their standard of living and improve the quality of education in their community
PEPY is a registered 501(c)3 INGO in the United States, holding MOUs with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sport in Cambodia.
Our target area
• PEPY operates in the District of Kralanh, working with young people from that area.
• Kralanh is located about 57km north east of Siem Reap.
• PEPY office and HQ is in Siem Reap
Who started PEPY, when and how?
In 2005, a group of friends who were teaching English in Japan decided to raise money to build a school in Cambodia, in an effort to improve the quality of education in rural communities.
On visiting the school they built, they found many empty classroom. There were not enough teachers to teach the classes, and many of the students dropped out.
This made them realise that “Schools don’t teach kids, people do,”
What were some of our first programs?
• Bike to school• Teacher award program• Child To Child• Young Leader • XO class• Library• Literacy camp• Classroom Library• Travelling Teacher Support
What are the main challenges for our work?
• In this area, many young people drop out of school and illegally migrate to Thailand for work.
• Due to low salaries and poor government teacher training, many teachers lack the skills and commitment to attend school
• There are not enough qualified teachers in rural areas• Young people lack confidence in their own abilities• Many people don’t understand the value of education• Communities don’t have access to resources and
information about training, jobs and other opportunities• These is a lack of good role models for young people• Communities value tangible stuff than intangible stuff
What programs are we running now ?
1.Dream Class
Help students set goals, build confidence, and learn how to achieve their goals and possible futures. Including: sharing events, a Skills Fair, and field trips for students i.e. Khmer Talks. We will also contribute to connecting students to other opportunities and scholarships, and supporting them in applying.
What programs are we running now ?
Scholarship
We offer scholarships to 20 students who lack of financial support to go to universities or Vocational Training. PEPY provides the following support: tuition fee, bike, living cost, medical care, and school supplies. PEPY support only two years.
What programs are we running now ?
3. Learning Center in Siem Reap
To support the development of PEPY scholarship students, we offer English, ICT, and leadership courses to complement their university and vocational studies.
What programs are we running now ?
4. Creative Learning
Class (CLC)
These supplementary classes help students be confident, creative, and work in teams. At Chanleas Dai Junior High School, many of these skills are developed through technology and use of XO laptops.
What programs are we running now?
5. English Class
In PEPY English, students learn more about the world while learning the basics of the English language.
PEPY’s next plan
• PEPY international NGO will be localized to local NGO (Name: PEPY-Empowering Youth).
• In September 2014.
• Programs and activities remain the same.
• Branding: There are some small change such as name, logo, vision, mission and core value.
Our core values
At PEPY, we believe that while what we do, and why we do it our important, perhaps even more important is HOW we do it. To this end, we developed 12 core values to guide our decision making:
1. Commit to our unending potential for improvement
2. Think unreasonably. Dream BIG
3. Focus on impact, not inputs. Invest in people, not things
4. Be strategic in our choices, and thoughtful in our plans
5. Collaborate, both within and beyond
6. Create and sustain a culture of open feedback
7. Work with, not for
8. Do more with less. Be responsible in our environmental and economic choices.
9. Be humble in success, transparent in failure and share the lessons we learn
10. Nurture the creative and quirky PEPY culture
11. Stay connected with the PEPY family. Wave until you can’t see them anymore.
12. Live the principles we promote. Work with integrity.
Any questions?

affected the poor
The growth enlarges the disparity between the rich and
the poor (social gap)
Unemployment, health care and quality of
education remain an issue
Low access to quality public services.
54
Proposed Recommendations
Promote SME at rural and regional level
Deliver training program to compete in ASEAN markets
Develop Employment Law and Employment Policy
