About SeeBeyondBorders Australia

Established in 2009, SeeBeyondBorders Australia was the first alliance country supporting Cambodian education. Over the past 15 years, much needed support has been provided from a number of individuals, companies and organisations in Australia, making the work on the ground in Cambodia possible.

We are a registered Australian charity and receive significant support through the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).

ANCP Support

SeeBeyondBorders Australia is proudly supported by the Australian Government through the ANCP Program. The funding received through ANCP currently supports three of our interconnected projects: Literacy, Educational Technology and Educational Changemakers, of which more information can be found here. We thank them for their continued support.

" We’re really proud to support SeeBeyondBorders as an ANCP recipient. It’s a tough process each ANCP recipient goes through to get accredited, but it’s a real testament to SeeBeyondBorders that they’ve gone through that and they’re receiving more support. "
