Fundraising for Cambodia
What we are doing
At HeadGym we are currently raising funds to provide comprehensive mental health training to Teachers and Children in some of Cambodia’s most underprivileged regions. With your help, we hope to make a lasting impact on children’s lives for years to come.
Why it's important we help
Some of the issues affecting these regions include HIV, Trafficking, Abuse, Abandonment, malnutrition and more. There is also no development in mental health to help tackle these problems as there are not yet words for things like anxiety or depression. Without the understanding and resources they need these problems can affect children throughout their adult lives unless addressed.
These mental health issues negatively impact many aspects of life such as academia, career, behaviour, social interactions, and general well-being. All of this also leads to a vicious poverty trap and therefore repeats the cycle for future generations.
Our Plan
This is where we want to make a difference. We strongly believe this cycle can be broken and with the right resources and understanding these children can flourish, overcoming current mental health issues and excel current expectations.
We plan to equip 400 Teachers, that work with over 10,000 children, with the right understanding, skills and resources to give every child the best help possible.
This will include early intervention strategies, a growth mindset, solution-focused approaches, safe inclusive classrooms, and a in-depth understanding of mental health.
Not only will the issue of mental health be tackled, but in turn the chances of escaping poverty will be drastically increased as they will now be equipped with the resources and mindset to defy the odds and tackle problems they previously could not.
Where the money is spent
The money raised will be used for materials, workshops, translators, and other resources. We hope with your help we can make a difference in the quality of these children’s lives and their futures too.
