PEPY is a different kind of organization. We want to live in a world where everyone has access to quality education and increased health and environmental awareness but we believe that traditional development models are failing to make the changes we think are possible in the world.

At PEPY, we are committed to making improvements in education, the environment, and health by investing in a local team of dedicated leaders and connecting them with the tools to help deliver the changes they want to see in the world. We work to build strong human relationships and empower local leaders who understand the specific needs in the areas where we work. Our goals involve changes in attitudes and actions so we take an approach to development focused on community input and capacity building.

Through our partner government schools, and our informal education initiatives, PEPY is supporting education for over 1,700 families in 12 villages and 9 schools in rural Siem Reap. We believe that education is the key to sustainable change, and are committed to a holistic developmental approach which empowers children, parents, teachers, and communities to make the positive changes they want to see in their lives.

PEPY is a non-governmental organization registered in both the US and Cambodia.
