Social Businesses
In addition to private donations and small grants, Bridge of Life School benefits from two local, social businesses working in the tourism economy in Siem Reap. These separate, not-for-profit businesses donate between 70% and 100% of their earnings to Bridge of Life School to help fund programming in Siem Reap & Kompong Thom provinces. They also employ former Bridge of Life students who graduated from our English program. Learn more about these social businesses below.
Community First
