Help us build a playground for a displaced community in Cambodia

$730 of $2,000 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in 4 weeks

We're fundraising for a playground for underprivileged Cambodian kids - a creative space where they can learn through play and imagination.

Nationwide

We believe education is the key to eradicating poverty in places like Andong, Cambodia.

We've already built 10 new classrooms at the local primary school of a displaced village we support on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. Our education and community initiatives have helped thousands.

But education isn't just about classrooms and text books. It's also about inspiring imagination and adventure.

Children learn so much through play. Which is why our latest project is a fun one!

We're creating an engaging playground for the children of Kork Rokar primary school. A creative space that encourages them to explore and reimagine their futures.

A colourful place that fosters creativity, invention, friendship and inclusion.

We'd love your help to make this THE MOST IMAGINATIVE PLAYGROUND ever!!

We're traveling to Cambodia in January to install the playground with a team of volunteers and local expertise.

The size and scale of it depends on this funding...

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
