Why Your Donations Matter

In rural Siem Reap, most children grow up without organised sport. Village schools are asked to teach physical education, but few have the equipment, space or trained coaches to do it, and many children take on adult responsibilities at an early age.

The Globalteer Sports Programme would not exist without the support of our donors. Even a small amount goes a long way in Cambodia, and every donation to children in Cambodia helps us keep bringing football, volleyball and physical education to more than 2,500 children across 7 villages and 9 schools.

Fundraise for the Sports Programme

Want to do more than give? Fundraising is a powerful way to help from anywhere in the world, and even small efforts make a big impact. You can:

  • Take on a sponsored run, walk, swim or cycle
  • Host a quiz night, bake sale or five-a-side tournament
  • Fundraise with your team at work, where many employers match what you raise
  • Join Temple Run, our annual fundraising run in Siem Reap

Every fundraiser for children in Cambodia helps pay for coaches, equipment and sports sessions.

Combine Donating With Volunteering

Many supporters donate and also volunteer with us in Siem Reap. As a sports volunteer, you give your time and energy alongside your donation, supporting our local coaches in sessions, planning new games and helping run sports for social impact activities.

You don’t need to be a trained coach, and full training and support are provided. Many supporters also fundraise before or after their trip, which multiplies the impact of their time with the children.

A Safe, Supportive Space for Every Child

Sport has the power to bring children together in a safe space. It lets kids be kids, in a place where many are forced to grow up much too quickly. With your help, children in our programme can:

  • Play football, volleyball and team games in organised, supervised sessions
  • Learn how their bodies work and how to look after them through PE
  • Explore topics like children’s rights, gender equality and fair play
  • Grow in confidence, face challenges and voice their opinions

Every session follows Globalteer’s child protection standards, so your donation always goes towards safe sport for children.
