Where we work
One idea, carried carefully.
The idea travels well because it asks so little of a place: find a community-led program that already works, and fund the students it cannot afford to admit.
The map
One country operating. One being studied.
Hover, tap, or focus a location to see what we do — and don't yet do — there.

The Bunong Scholars
The Bunong are the largest Indigenous highland people in Cambodia. They live in Mondulkiri Province, where they have farmed and kept forests for generations, and where land has grown scarce within living memory. Their young people face a hard question: how to build a future without leaving their people behind.
For over a decade, a community association founded and led by Bunong people has answered part of that question by housing and guiding Bunong students through university in Phnom Penh, with counseling, workshops, and residences the students help run themselves.
What they built is remarkable. We fund the students who qualify for it but cannot pay for it. That is our entire role.
We do not decide what a community needs.

Vietnam — Central Highlands
Home to peoples related to the Bunong. We are in the listening stage, and no students are sponsored here.
Vietnam is exploratory. Listing it is not a promise that we will operate there — if we do not find a program that meets every standard we hold, we will not.
