Celebrating Incredible Success
Since 2003, ODA Free Schools have been a beacon of hope and transformation for children in Siem Reap’s remote subsistence farming villages. Over the past 20 years, ODA has earned the respect and trust of local village and commune chiefs, becoming an essential pillar of education in these underserved communities. These children come from incredibly basic backgrounds, with families working tirelessly to survive on subsistence farming. Yet, through sheer determination and the opportunities your support provides, these young learners are achieving the extraordinary.
Meet our ODA Heroes ‘The teachers.’ Between them they deliver 24 one hour classes 6 nights a week. A herculean effort and all either attend or have graduated from university. No wonder the pass rate is so amazing.

Empowering Through Education
The heart of ODA’s success lies in its dedicated team of teachers. All ODA teachers are either attending university or have graduated under the ODA University Program. Currently, 16 teachers are pursuing their degrees, ensuring they bring both excellent teaching methods and advanced content to their classrooms. This commitment to continuous learning creates a ripple effect, empowering our students with a high-quality education that changes lives. Leng and his team are bursting with pride at what their hard work, and your incredible support, has achieved.
