September is the best time to give for maximum impact. Donations from new donors are tripled!
War. Genocide. Poverty. The people of Cambodia have endured decades of hardship yet continue to move forward with an unbreakable spirit of resilience and hope. Education is the key to building a brighter tomorrow. Help us support educational opportunities for children and youth. Invest in Cambodia’s future.
This year your donation goes further than ever.
Your support opens the door to life-changing educational opportunities. All month long, every donation to the Cambodian Village Fund will be matched dollar-for-dollar, instantly doubling your impact.
And this year, your gift goes even further. Thanks to an anonymous matching donor any amount you give above last year’s donation will be doubly matched. This donor hopes that the extra match will inspire even greater generosity this year. The double match will cover up to $10,000 in donations.
Example: If you gave $100 last September, your entire donation was matched dollar for dollar = $200. If you donate $150 this September ($50 more than last year) your entire $150 is doubled = $300, and the extra $50 above what you gave last year is doubled once more, turning your $150 into $350.
Your gift tripled if you didn’t donate in 2024!
Every dollar from a new donor will be tripled this month. And, if you didn’t donate last year, your gift will also be tripled.
We’re actively growing our donor base, so help us spread the word. Share this opportunity with friends and family, so their donations can have triple the impact!

Our highest impact programs
Scholarships — 25 young women currently rely on this program to cover college tuition, books and a laptop, medical and dental care, and free housing in our dormitory. A college education uplifts a student’s whole family, breaking the cycle of poverty.
English Language Program — Over 400 students in grades 3–12 attend our after-school English classes. Zion Dyson, granddaughter of the founders, completed a 10-month Fulbright project to strengthen this program and will return to Cambodia to continue this important work. English fluency improves job opportunities.
Science and Computer Lab — Last year, we asked for your support to build a computer lab. Thanks to your generosity, that dream is now a reality! The new lab opened at the Bill and Nancy Kaun Khlong Primary School in January. Our primary school science program meets in the lab five days per week. STEM education prepares students for better jobs.
Your donations help us sustain and scale these programs for maximum impact.

A message from Noy – “Your generosity made this possible.“
“Thank you for all the ways you have supported my education and future. Without your support over the past four years, I would not have been able to graduate and improve the living conditions for my family. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities you have helped make possible.” -Set Noy

A note from Bill and Nancy
Nineteen years ago, we founded the Cambodian Village Fund with a simple idea: if we could help just one person, it would be worth it. What started as a small charity has grown into a life-changing mission, bringing hope to countless people.
We’ve seen a new school building transform a village and a college education break the cycle of poverty in a single generation. These incredible changes have not only impacted the lives of Cambodians but have also changed us, filling us with a passion for serving others and a deep sense of joy.
We invite you to be part of this life-changing mission.
With deepest gratitude,
Bill and Nancy Bamberger
Together, we can open more doors, change more futures, and keep this incredible momentum going.
