Our Story The scorching Cambodian sun backlit the plastic bags that were being carried by small children as they scavenged through garbage for something to eat or sell.As we stood and watched the smell was overwhelming and bits of garbage blew through the air getting stuck in our hair and eyelashes burning our eyes. This was these children’s every day reality. Then we learned that these kids could go to school if only for school supplies. A few years earlier Pymean Noun built a school at the Dump called the POI school and gave the families rice in exchange for letting their children attend school instead of working the dump to feed their families. The money earmarked for school supplies was used up with the rice program and they had no supplies.
Empowering Women When the Ace of Good makes our delivery trips, instead of bringing backpacks from the United States, we source them locally through our women’s empowerment programs. We sponsor free seamstress job-skills training and then offer our graduates employment to sew our backpacks. Our program offers women an opportunity for financial independence, eases poverty in their community, and crates beautifully made backpacks for children in need.
Educating Children The UN estimates that 120 million children are denied an education every year, many due to their inability to afford school supplies or fees. Education is the key to fighting poverty, hunger, disease, terrorism, global warming, you name it: almost every problem can be addressed through education.The students of the Tent School in Dharamsala India, at the Charan Khad slum, who show special interest and aptitude are invited to attend the Hostel School. Here they live in a boarding school setting yet only 15 minutes walk from the Charan Khad slum where their families live. For all of these students The Hostel School is the first time they have lived with electricity and running water, proper bathrooms, and proper meals, and have slept in proper beds. Ace of Good visited with these amazing students of the Hostel Schools and delivered a bckpack filled with School supplies to each and every child.
Travel With Us The Ace of Good is bringing philanthropic travel to a new level. In partnership with Go Philanthropic, we have created an externship program where college and graduate school students can get real life work experience while traveling the world to make deliveries to children in need. Ace of Good offers a four-week intensive externship where you will not only learn about sustainable business practice and the one-for-one model, but also gain a first-hand look at our mission, participating in international backpack deliveries to our partner schools.
