About Us

We are a dynamic learning organization dedicated to education and empowerment for children, young adults, and our own team in rural Cambodia.

Every day, 300+ students attend our school, where they gain life-changing skills through English classes and our Amazing Girls Programme — unlocking opportunities to build careers, challenge inequalities, and pursue their dreams.

What sets us apart? Our passionate local teachers, trained to deliver high-quality education rooted in the community’s needs, but learning isn’t just for our students.

Through regular knowledge-sharing and workshops with international volunteers and experts, we’ve spent 15+ years refining our methods to foster critical thinking, confidence, and social change.

Our belief: Education never stops. By growing together, we’re creating a future where every Cambodian — regardless of gender or background — can shape their own destiny.

“Before founding KKO, I worked with many small organizations in Cambodia through the German weltwärts program.

I noticed that most organizations were led by foreign management, with Cambodians in supporting roles.

This inspired me to create KKO with a different vision: Cambodians leading at every level, from management to teaching.

That’s why we’re called Khmer for Khmer—a mission to empower Cambodians to learn from each other and pass on knowledge within their community.”
