inauguration du second biblio-bateau

The Thmey Thmey media looks back in pictures at the inauguration of our second boat library, which took place on Sunday June 9, 2024. It gives over 5,700 people access to a library close to home. Every month, 200 children take part in reading sessions and 50 adults come to borrow books. By the end of the project, in three years' time, over 30% of the local population will have benefited from the biblio-bateau's services. Thanks to our partners Marins Sans Frontières and FACT for their collaboration in the construction and commissioning of this second boat-library.

Thanks to All Dreams Cambodia travel agency, which thanks to voluntary contributions from its customers and the commitment of its manager and staff, is able to finance the operation of the boat-library for three years.

Discover our youth empowerment program

Since October 2021, Sipar has launched a three-year program that targets Cambodian youth and especially high school students.

Cambodia is a young and changing country. High school students in rural areas have little or no access to information about the labour market and post-graduation guidance opportunities. Sipar decided to build libraries in high schools to accompany them.
