WHO ARE WE?
BOOKBRIDGE is a registered nonprofit organization under German and Swiss law with headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Locally, we cooperate with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. Our close partners are the Cambodia Scouts, the Provincial Depart of Education, Youth and Sports as well as schools and NGOs.
BOOKBRIDGE supports access to education around the world. We aim at improving the quality of education and promote the participation of youth in the educational sector of their community.
To reach those goals we set up Learning Centers. Books and other media can be borrowed and used for free by all registered members of the library. Further the Learning Center offers paid courses in English and IT, free activities for the local youth and a seminar program according to local needs.Our Learning Centers are designed as social businesses, providing young educators with the possibility of a place to work, nurture their knowledge and pass it on to others and at the same time finance themselves through the paid course program.
