We are pleased to announce that two Yours Humanly scholars in Cambodia have recently passed through our K-12 Scholarship Program and graduated high school, earning their diplomas and joining fellow students in their caps and gowns.

Both grads plan to attend college: One plans to study marketing; the other plans to study international communication. Yours Humanly will continue to support these scholars in some capacity as they continue their educational journey and earn their bachelor’s degree.

Under our sponsorship, the girls were enrolled in the highly regarded Beltei International School in Phnom Penh. They have now graduated from one of the finest schools in Cambodia, with a level of education that opens many doors for them, allowing them to dream big. And, because Yours Humanly also funded their ESL education, both girls speak English, something they are able to do only because of Yours Humanly’s sponsorship.

With your generous support, Yours Humanly transforms lives through the power of education. When we say that together we help children in need achieve better, brighter futures, this is what we mean. Congratulations to our two Yours Humanly graduates!
