For 20 years, PLF has been backing the underrepresented.

Not the easy wins.
Not the already-ahead.
The kids in forgotten communities where opportunity is scarce, but potential isn’t.

And we’ve never done it alone.

To mark two decades of impact, one of our long-time supporters has stepped forward with a challenge:

Every dollar donated will be matched — dollar for dollar — up to $20,000.

That’s $40,000 on the table for education.

True education doesn’t happen in a single, isolated moment. It is built piece by piece, grade by grade. This match fund directly fuels the vital building blocks students need at every major milestone of their trajectory:

1. The Foundation (Kindergarten to Grade 9)

Long-term success starts on day one. In the early years, our focus is making sure children have the physical and academic foundations to stay in school.

  • The Tools: Daily meals, wellness routines, uniforms, books, and bicycles for school commutes.
  • The Leverage: Just $15 a month covers a child’s foundational needs—and right now, it’s matched to support two students. A single gift of $170 secures an entire year for two children.

2. The Bridge (High School)

As kids grow into young adults, the financial pressure to drop out and find work intensifies. In Grades 10–12, we build a safety net around them so they can focus on finishing their diplomas.

  • The Tools: Family food banks, essential life-skills workshops, and English and tech training.
  • The Leverage: A gift of $60 a month (or $700 for the year) is completely doubled to keep two high schoolers safely on track toward graduation.

3. The Launch (Higher Education)

The ultimate finish line is breaking the cycle of poverty permanently. When a student graduates university or vocational training, they don't just transform their own lives—they pull their entire families up with them.

  • The Tools: University fees, vocational tuition, laptops, and living stipends.
  • The Leverage: On average a bachelor degree costs $157/month or $7,500 for the full 4 years; while vocational training is $84/month or $2,000 for 2 years. Because of the match, backing one student means you are funding the career launch of two young Cambodians.

This isn’t symbolic giving. This is leveraged impact.

$20K matched.
20 years of proof it works.
A global community backing the next generation.

Let’s unlock the full $40,000.
