Wheels of Opportunity: Empowering Education Through Bicycle Distribution

Location: Prasat Bakong district, Siem Reap Province

Date: November 2024

Costs: USD3,000

Status: Completed


We have made further significant progress in the second semester of 2024 with our Mobility Programme, delivering 60 bicycles, including 27 for girls, and distributed to carefully selected, hitherto disadvantaged students at Ta Pang, Ta Pok, and Kirimonon Primary Schools. This initiative is not just about providing transportation—it’s about transforming lives and creating opportunities, made possible by the continued support from our generous donors.

During the handover, we witnessed the excitement of the students and the heartfelt gratitude from their families. One mother, with tears in her eyes, shared her story:

“My child has been asking for a bicycle since October to start the new school year, but I couldn’t afford one. It broke my heart every time I had to say no. Today, my prayers were answered. I want to thank the principal for nominating my child and the Kamboo Project for this wonderful donation. You’ve not only given my child a bicycle but also a reason to smile and dream bigger.”

Moments like these remind us why this project matters. Each bicycle enables students to:
• Reach school on time, energized and ready to learn.
• Stay in school, reducing the risk of dropping out.
• Feel motivated to pursue their education with hope for a brighter future.

A heartfelt thank you to our two donors Finanzmesse.ch and Veloplus for making this possible. Together, we are changing lives—one bicycle, one dream, one family at a time.
