Prince Foundation Annual Report 2023: Empowering a Brighter Future for Cambodia
The Prince Foundation Annual Report 2023 showcases a year of impactful progress across education, community development, and sports in Cambodia. Guided by its mission to improve lives through sustainable and inclusive initiatives, the Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Education and youth empowerment remained central pillars of the Foundation’s work. The flagship Chen Zhi Scholarship Program expanded its reach, awarding 100 scholarships to deserving Cambodian students in 2023. These students, selected from a pool of 1,700 applicants, are now pursuing degrees in high-demand fields such as engineering, IT, communications, and international business. The Foundation complemented academic support with a series of workshops on leadership, communication, career planning, and CSR, equipping scholars with essential life and career skills. Experiential learning was also emphasized, with students engaging in cultural visits like the SOSORO Museum and community events like SkyFest.
Beyond direct support to students, the Foundation invested in inclusive education by training educators on special needs awareness, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, and hosted workshops at major platforms like the Cambodia International Educators Conference (CIEC). These initiatives underscore Prince Foundation’s holistic approach to fostering an empowered and equitable learning environment for all.
In the area of community outreach and sports, the Foundation strengthened national pride and athletic development. Notable contributions included sponsoring the Cambodian Men’s National Volleyball Team and the Cambodian Wheelchair Basketball Team, both of which achieved regional milestones. Additionally, it facilitated international training for the Cambodian Men’s National Water Polo Team in Singapore, marking a significant step toward elevating Cambodia’s presence in international aquatic sports. Grassroots sports development was also prioritized, with efforts to build teamwork, health, and leadership among youth through local partnerships.
Prince Foundation’s work in 2023 received six local and international awards recognizing its excellence in CSR and ESG initiatives. These accolades reflect its growing influence and credibility in driving positive change in Cambodia.
The year also saw strategic partnerships flourish—with ministries, academic institutions, NGOs, and international bodies—to amplify the Foundation’s reach and effectiveness. From supporting cultural heritage efforts with the American Chamber of Commerce to facilitating public-private cooperation in education and health, the Foundation actively fostered collaborative impact.
As it looks toward 2024, Prince Foundation is committed to scaling its initiatives, expanding access to education, and exploring technology-driven solutions for youth and community development. With a deepened focus on sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation, the Foundation continues to build a resilient and empowered Cambodia.
