Some ramps for the new Cambodia skatepark on the move!
Donate to your favorite ramp and give the gift of skating to girls and boys in Phnom Penh!
Skateistan Cambodia is building a new skatepark in Phnom Penh to be able to reach more kids and expand its programming. We now have a location for our very own skatepark and a roof is being built, but we need your support to fund the construction of the skateboard ramps.
Simply pick your favorite ramp and make a small donation of €1 or more here! We have four different ramps that we need donations to finish: kicker ramps, a quarterpipe, a pyramid fun box and a bank.
So far the Skateistan Cambodia project has been teaching in the streets of Phnom Penh and at other NGO locations. Now we want to provide a safe, covered skatepark facility that Cambodian youth of all backgrounds can use, rain or shine. The facility will not only allow youth of all backgrounds to come together, but classroom spaces will let us provide education, training workshops and more to our students!
This central location will allow us to include more children in our programs while saving valuable time and cutting costs on transportation – that’s more resources left for programming. After seeing how everyone threw down at the Kep bowl contest last month, we expect the students’ ability levels to skyrocket once they have this space, and we can’t wait to see everyone shredding in the new park. Check our Skateistan Cambodia's website to hear more about our grand opening party coming up!
Skateistan Cambodia has rented some land to build the park, but needs donations to finish the ramps.
