Bakong Technical College

Socially, Culturally, And Environmentally Empowering

Up to eighty percent of the Cambodian population lives and works in the rural areas of Cambodia. This segment of the population lives far, far below the established poverty line and lacks the most basic of resources, such as access to quality education and thus economic prosperity.

The heart and soul of BTC is education and economic empowerment of local communities, specifically targeting rural women through a self-help and self-sustainability concept. BTC’s primary mission is to change the status quo and alter the course of the poorest of the poor live and livelihood through quality education backed with an innovative trickle up process.

Quality education is essential in developing economies and sustainable land management practices. Working with local and international partners, BTC shall educate and employ women and men throughout the Bakong District to help build self-sustaining villages. BTC programs shall work with local villages to develop innovative farming techniques, establish viable eco-tourism projects, which are equitable and sustainable for local economies, and protect the environment-including social, cultural, and natural. Secondary education opportunities shall be available to help build a new generation of responsible and caring community leaders and educators.
