We are on a Quest to Deliver Lasting Impact through Collaborative Community Action
We provide quality education to underserved communities and strategic support for collaborative nonprofits in Cambodia.
Our Story
Our journey began with Epic Animal Quest, a social enterprise we ran in Cambodia focused on animal welfare, education, and community action. Although we had to cease operations due to COVID-19 restrictions, the experience allowed us to build invaluable connections and gain deep insights into the challenges faced by underserved communities. These experiences shaped our values and inspired the creation of Quest Compassionate Education. After seeing firsthand the transformative power of education, we have now developed programs that address the unique needs of the communities we met. From supporting local nonprofits to delivering online lessons and providing resources for underserved schools, we now focus on teacher training, collaboration with local partners, and creating sustainable educational opportunities to make a lasting impact.
Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance educational access and quality in Cambodia's underserved areas. We aim to empower students and support educators through comprehensive teacher training, innovative lessons, and essential educational resources. By doing so, we help build strong foundations for growth, opportunity, and sustainable development within communities.
Our Vision
We see a future where every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive through access to quality education. Our vision extends to communities that are not only equipped with knowledge but also empowered to lead their development and protect their cultural and environmental heritage.
“Compassionate education means more than teaching; it’s about creating opportunities, instilling confidence, and enabling communities to shape their future.”
