Students > Origins
Geographical Origin
Our students come from 19 provinces of Cambodia. We target students in high schools from poor areas. As much as possible CIST works in partnership with NGOs to cover all those areas.
In 2008, more than 95% of the CIST students selected came from the countryside.
