About CAPE (Child Aid Program for Education)
CAPE (Child Aid Program for Education) is a non-profit initiative dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for children in underfunded schools in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Created and managed by the Angkor Tour Guide Team, our program focuses on providing vital support to improve the quality of education and well-being for these children.
Our Impact
In 2007, Mr. Mara Long, a former Buddhist monk and member of the Angkor Wat Tour Guide Team, collaborated with Mr. Francisco Aceituno to address critical needs in the villages surrounding Angkor Wat Temple. They began by purchasing school books for local children, but their efforts quickly revealed broader challenges facing these communities.
The children were struggling with limited access to education, inadequate living conditions, and scarce resources such as food and clean drinking water. The local state schools only provided half-day classes, leaving students with idle afternoons that often led them into unproductive or harmful activities, further distancing them from their education.
Determined to make a meaningful impact, Mara and Francisco worked to connect with individuals and organizations who wanted to help. They guided supporters on how to effectively contribute to the community, transforming their concern into tangible support for the children and their families.
Today, CAPE (Child Aid Program for Education) continues to build on these initial efforts, striving to improve educational opportunities, health, and overall well-being for children in need.
