Lighting the Way: How Tara Riverboat Supports Free Education in Cambodia
At Tara Riverboat, we believe that every journey should leave a positive ripple behind. For us, that ripple extends beyond the waters of the Tonlé Sap Lake — it reaches into the hearts and futures of children in Cambodia through free education.
A Mission Beyond Tourism
Our tours don’t just share the beauty of floating villages and the magic of Tonlé Sap sunsets. They also help fund free community schools in local villages, providing children with a chance to learn, dream, and build brighter futures. Each ticket sold contributes directly to school supplies, teacher salaries, and classroom improvements — turning travel into meaningful impact.
Education: The Light That Lasts
Many of the children living around the lake face barriers to formal education. Through our support, hundreds of young students now have access to basic reading, writing, and English lessons — skills that open doors to opportunity.
As our guests cruise peacefully through Cambodia’s natural wonders, they’re also helping light the path for the next generation.
Every Guest Makes a Difference
When you join a Tara Riverboat tour, you’re not just exploring — you’re empowering. Whether it’s a sunrise adventure to Kompong Phluk or a sunset cruise aboard the Queen Tara, part of your experience helps sustain free learning for local children. Together, we’re proving that responsible tourism can create real change.
Join Us in Keeping the Flame of Learning Alive
Education is the heart of progress, and with your support, we’ll continue to nurture it across Cambodia’s floating communities. So next time you sail with us, know that your adventure helps fuel something greater — the light of learning that shines in every child’s eyes.
The Light of Learning
Education is a gentle flame,
That turns the dark to day,
A path where every mind can grow,
And find its wiser way.
It lifts the heart, it shapes the soul,
It opens every door,
Each lesson learned, each truth we hold,
Becomes the key to more.
For knowledge sown with care and grace,
Will bloom in every land—
The future rests within our minds,
And learning is its hand.
