The end of the 23-24 school year was also the closing of a chapter, as the final intake to our Scholars’ Dorms in Siem Reap all passed their Grade 12 exam and moved on to tertiary education placements - and we now close the doors on this initiative.
Needless to say, this is not a decision we have taken lightly! The Siem Reap dorms are held in much affection for everyone involved in PLF’s mission - students, communities, team members, and donors alike. But while we look back with great fondness on all the fantastic kids who passed through these doors, we are relieved to be able to turn the page on the need for residential housing for underage minors, who literally had no choice but to leave their homes and villages in pursuit of an education.

The biggest bonus of all is that the cost of running the dorms each year will now be re-directed into awarding even more high school scholarships - a strategy that will see many times more students completing Grade 12 and preparing for life beyond school - university, vocational training, or entrance into the workforce - without the trauma of having to leave home.
