GoPhil partner PEPY Empowering Youth provides disadvantaged Cambodian youth with education, skills, and opportunities they need to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to COVID-19, PEPY\u2019s students face unemployment. Just during the last quarter, PEPY\u2019s student and alumni unemployment rate increased by 5%. While PEPY\u2019s team has worked hard to identify new employment opportunities, there are still approximately 30 youth out of work. In addition to assisting students to find employment, PEPY has also extended its support to the families of their students helping them combat the economic fallout due to COVID-19.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
