Art, gardening and playing : Why are these things important for our programs?
Playground : When playing, children discover the concepts of pleasure and sharing. This activity is essential to their fulfillment and allows them to grow with all the necessary confidence. Playing helps the development of their imagination, to imitate, and to understand the beliefs and intentions of others. It's a fundamental tool for the development of cognitive, emotional, social, and physical plains. Children play spontaneously and try to recreate what they see in real life for a better understanding and integration.

Anjali Alumni – Oudom
I have been involved with Anjali House for almost ten years since I was a fourth-grade student in 2014. To be honest, before I attended to study in this organization, I was a person who hated education. I tried to drop out of school many times because of a lot of reasons. Firstly, to help my family financially. I thought that if I drop out of school, I can find a lot of money to support my family situation. Secondly, I was really addicted to hanging out with bad guys/ wrong crowds. I hardly went to school. My parents were stressed about my problems. Even though they had less education, they never wanted me to stop studying. A few months… Read more
International Day of Women and Girls in Science
International Day of Women and Girls in Science February 11 is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Both science and gender equality are critical to achieving the goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. According to UNESCO, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Additionally, few female students select STEM-related fields in higher education.

This disparity is even more pronounced when looking at the STEM disciplines. Women make up a mere 14% of the students studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, compared… Read more
