If you are interested in making a life changing donation, the following costs might help you understand how much money is needed to fund a rural school or demining mission. Donations are accepted at all times.
- It cost $3 per month to support one child in an RSVP school. See wish list below for further details.
- The cost of a school for the Rural School Village program is $5,000 per room. That includes desks and chalkboards. We usually build 4 or 5 room schools.
- The cost for a toilet block and water well for the students and village is $1,250 each.
- The monthly cost of running a demining mission is $20,000.
- The cost to keep our EOD teams in the field is $6,250 per month per team.
We are always looking for donors to support the RSVP program. Building a school can change the life of a student in Cambodia and can give them opportunities they never would have had otherwise.
Average School Cost: $15, – $20,000 USD
Toilet & Well: $1,250 USD each

We are fully transparent with our donors on where their money is being spent.
First and foremost: demining. This is the number one priority. Nothing else can happen if this isn’t solved first. To keep the demining and EOD teams in the field for a month it costs $25, – 50,000.
Next, any other money goes towards RSVP to build new schools and provide supplies. A school costs $15 – 20,000 to build. A toilet and well cost $1,250 each. School supplies each year can sum to $40,000.
At any time you can contact our team to see which project you are supporting with your donation.
