TAP Initiative

The Tap Initiative is a student-led 501c3 nonprofit organization with 6 chapters based in California. Here is their testimony: Our goal is to improve educational inequity and help students around the globe. We reached out to CCDO in early 2024 to help fundraise and raise awareness about their health and education programs. By connecting with them, our team learned about the local Cambodian community's difficulties such as lacking the resources to obtain education as well as hygiene. We decided to partner with CCDO because we believe in what they do, and how the programs develop education and hygiene, setting up the students for continued benefit. In the past year, we raised money through lunch fundraisers, selling snacks, and setting up a GoFundMe page. Additionally, this past September, we hosted our largest event, an annual night market called Tap into the Night. During this event, we were both able to raise money and awareness about the multitude of hardships students face in Cambodia, both in school and outside of it. We will continue to help and support CCDO as their students start school soon. Recently, as a result of all the members' hard work, we donated a total of $4,000 to help with their health checkup program as well as to fund much needed school supplies.
