Agape International Missions (AIM) is an NGO working in all parts of anti-trafficking in Cambodia. Their focused efforts have transformed the most notorious neighborhood once known as being overrun by drugs and prostitution, including children. As a part of their prevention work, AIM established a primary school in the center of this high risk neighborhood.
When governmental approvals delayed the new school under construction, AIM turned to EMI for solutions. A local warehouse was rented and converted into temporary classrooms to allow the school year to begin and a growing student population to continue learning. Even now that the permanent school is open, this facility has seen additional life serving other AIM programs and needs.
