Welcome to Emaan Foundation Cambodia

Empowering Communities. Transforming Lives. Building Exemplary Leaders.

Emaan Foundation Cambodia (EFC) is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting communities across Cambodia through quality education, leadership development, and sustainable community programs. Since our establishment in 2014, we have worked to ensure that children, youth, and families especially the underserved receive the opportunities, support, and skills they need to thrive.

Our Mission

To provide meaningful opportunities for children, youth, and communities to grow, contribute, and create positive impact.

Our Vision

A future where Cambodia is home to exemplary leaders who uplift society with integrity, knowledge, and compassion.

What We Do

EFC’s work is guided by our Strategic Blueprint 2024–2028, which focuses on building strong education systems, empowering families, strengthening leadership, and supporting sustainable communities across Cambodia.

1. Quality & Inclusive Education

Education is at the heart of our mission. Through our institutions, we provide accessible, multilingual, and values-based learning:

Emaan International School (EIS) – Kampong Chhnang

A full-scale Kindergarten–Secondary institution offering National Khmer, English, and Islamic Studies & Arabic curricula. EIS supports many orphans and needy students through free or subsidized education, helping break the cycle of poverty.

Emaan Education Centre (EEC) – Koh Kong

Initially a part-time school, EEC provides free Islamic education, Arabic, and English to rural children, workers, and seniors. In 2025, EEC transitions into a full-time primary school.

Emaan International Academy (EIA)

A hub focusing on Languages, Islamic Education, Entrepreneurship, Training, Skills & Employability, preparing youth and adults for real-world opportunities.
