Make your kilometers count!

In December, Friends-International's team along with supporters from more than 10 countries will run marathons around the world.

Our challenge? Raise $15,000 to build futures for marginalized Cambodian youth!

Though recent progress has been made, 40% of Cambodia's population still lives just above the poverty line*, pushing children, youth and families onto the margins of society. These children often lack learning opportunities and have no access to education. Every year, Friends-International supports 1,200 children to go back to school, 640 youth to attend our vocational trainings and 420 to find employment. Lets really grow these numbers for 2019!

Our team is already on the starting blocks, but now they need your help!
