Projects
Explore the literacy projects we’re currently supporting in Cambodia and see how thoughtful, practical action can make a lasting difference for children and communities.
Turning the Right to Read into Reality
At Literacy Lights, our projects are designed to create real, practical outcomes for learners and communities in Cambodia. We focus on expanding access to reading and learning in places where opportunity has been limited, supporting education pathways that build confidence, skill, and long‑term possibilities.
Our current projects are shaped by local priorities and delivered through strong partnerships with a highly accredited local development organisation. Together, we work to remove barriers to literacy, strengthen learning environments, and support initiatives that endure beyond short‑term interventions. Each project represents a tangible step toward greater access, participation, and choice through literacy.
Below is an overview of the projects we are currently delivering and developing.
