<p>Cambodia remains one of the poorest countries in Asia and over half of the population is under 25 years old. Issues facing children&nbsp;in Cambodia include limited access to quality education and fair employment, crime, violence, and discrimination, especially towards girls and children&nbsp;living with disabilities.</p>

<p>Skateistan first began running programs in Phnom Penh in 2011 at a previous Skate School in the city. In February 2018, we relocated to a new Skate School in a location better suited to meet the needs of children from low-income backgrounds. This new Skate School, situated in the creative hub of Factory Phnom Penh, consists of a 500 square meter skatepark, a classroom, library, office and large green space. Programs run at the Skate School, at Outreach locations and with partner organizations each week, with a focus on providing opportunities for girls and children living with disabilities.</p>
