ONE UMMAH PROGRAMS
One Ummah works in Cambodia through American Assistance for Cambodia, an organization run by board member Bernie Krisher. The organization leverages available monetary and in-kind grants to build schools across the country. Each school costs the donor $13,000 ($10,000 for construction and $3,000 used for general school account which monitors performance and maintenance. The total cost of each school is around $30,000, which demonstrates how effectively AAfC is able to leverage matching funds and in kind grants.
More information about American Assistance for Cambodia is available on their website: Combodia Schools.
