<div><strong>Donate today to help us provide urgent and immediate access to healthcare, nutritious meals, quality education, and a renewed sense of hope to those who need it most.</strong>
</div>
<div>We’re rallying support to<strong> transform the lives of 22 children</strong> living in one of Cambodia’s poorest rural regions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Cambodia &amp; Why Smiling Gecko</strong>
</div>
<div>Cambodia is still healing from the devastating legacy of the Khmer Rouge regime, which wiped out over 2 million people, including most of its educated class, between 1975 and 1979. Today, education remains the most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty and rebuild a brighter future.
</div>
<div><strong>Smiling Gecko</strong>, a Swiss-Cambodian nonprofit, is dedicated to long-term, sustainable change in Cambodia. Inspired by the Swiss education system, the organization offers primary schooling, vocational training, healthcare, and nutrition in a safe, supportive environment. Its unique campus model uplifts entire families, not just students.
</div>
<div><strong>AceUp</strong> is proud to support Smiling Gecko’s work and help expand access to education, dignity, and opportunity for Cambodia’s next generation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Now</strong>
</div>
<div>Located in one of Cambodia’s most underserved regions, <strong>Smiling Gecko’s school already serves 500 children and young adults</strong>. In July, <strong>they hope to welcome 22 more–but they need our help</strong>.
</div>
<div>Each child’s full-year support costs $3,900, covering tuition, healthcare, daily meals, and essential care.
</div>
<div><strong>Our goal: Raising $85,000 by July 12th, which represents the scholarships of 22 children. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>With your support, we can open the doors for 22 new students to begin their journey out of poverty by the end of year. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
