RW Supply + Design’s mission is that we exist UNTIL EVERY CHILD IS HOME . The first—and most significant—thing a child needs is an attachment to one adult. A HOME. And, usually, after that, access to education. Education is a powerful means of breaking the cycle of generational poverty. It can change entire communities!

In Cambodia, as in many other developing nations, poverty creates a significant barrier between children and education. For some children, something as simple as the cost of a school uniform can prevent them from attending school. These seemingly small challenges can feel like insurmountable obstacles in the face of daily survival.

Through our partnerships with schools, in Southeast Asia, specifically the Asia’s Hope schools, we have seen the transformative power of education. It’s exciting to watch students—many of whom were told they would never succeed—rise above their circumstances. They are breaking cycles! They are proving that, when you give a child the tools they need—both emotionally and academically—they are able to rise above their circumstances.

This year we are looking forward to partnering with even more deserving students. The ability to provide these educational opportunities is solely because of the work that you do each day!
