Thoeun's Trust aims to turn a terrible tragedy into a positive legacy in one of Asia's poorest countries, Cambodia. Working closely with local organisations, it is funding educational projects - often in remote rural areas. Comparative stability in recent years has attracted overseas investment which is transforming the capital, Phnom Penh. But the countryside presents a different picture. Despite efforts by the Cambodian government, many children still don't attend school on a daily basis. Sometimes it's because there simply isn't one nearby, sometimes because they must work to supplement family income. Theoun was born in just such a village. However from the age of six he grew up as part of a very different, affluent world. Thoeun died in a tragic accident at the age of 17. We want to ensure that his Trust goes on to achieve things he never had a chance to.
