The UN Sustainable Development Goals
Goal 3: Good Health and Well-Being
At JWOC, we are committed to providing essential health & well-being support to our students, staff, alumni, and board members. Through consultations, guidance and mentorship sessions, we strive to foster a healthier, more resilient community. Recognizing the critical importance of health & well-being, we ensure that everyone within our community has access to professional advice and effective coping strategies. By prioritizing individual well-being, we contribute to building sustainable communities.
Goal 4: Quality Education
Providing access to inclusive education has always been a core focus for JWOC, helping our students improve their quality of life and equipping them with the tools they need to contribute to the sustainable development of Cambodia. Our Scholarship Program provides students with the financial support they need to attend University, which they would not have been able to otherwise afford. Our Better Futures program helps high school students stay in school and gives graduates the confidence to take their next steps.
Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
We provide all of our students with life skills and career guidance workshops, giving youth the skills and confidence they need to fight for their rights. We partner with responsible employers to provide work experience and personal development opportunities. Finally, our Youth Leadership Program gives our students an opportunity to experience project management, developing the skills, innovation and creativity they need to pursue their entrepreneurial goals.
Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities
All of our students have a passion for pursuing education and giving back to their communities, but lack the financial support and additional skills needed to become active citizens. By providing them with access to tertiary education, we are reducing inequalities and giving them a platform to create solutions to address the challenges that are faced by youth in Cambodia. We also improve the financial literacy of our students, so that they can manage their income and expenses independently.
