Program accomplishments

• OTHER PROGRAM ACTIVITY
  Expenses $144,719 · grants $37,617

  Expenses $127,768 · grants $127,768
• SKILLS TRAINING FOR EMPLOYMENT (STEP): Skills Training for Employment seeks to reduce poverty by providing income-generating skills to those who most need them.

Without this ability to earn greater income, these women and men would remain in poverty, eking out a living on $4 per day as daily wage earners.
  Expenses $62,745 · grants $62,745
• CATALYST: Through full scholarships (covering tuition, food, residence, utilities, class fees, and a daily allowance) of approximately $1,800 per girl, per year, the CATALYST program carries on the work of GATE by seeing through our long-term investment in girls education by helping to rebuild the intellectual class that was completely decimated by the Khmer Rouge only a generation ago.
  Expenses $46,249 · grants $46,249
• EQU+: The EQU+ after school program serves children of migrant laborers by enrolling them in school and providing evening bridge classes to ensure they keep up at an age-appropriate level.

We currently transport over 650 girls to secondary school and 40 young women to college.
