QMC - Cambodia Global Citizenship Programme
In March 2026, students from Queen Mary's College will be taking part in a Global Citizenship Programme in Cambodia.
Working in partnership with the FutureSense Foundation, the students will spend time with rural communities, supporting education, health, and livelihoods initiatives that make a real difference to people’s lives.
This is more than a trip - it’s a chance for the students to grow as individuals, while helping others build better futures.

Why it Matters
Across Sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 10 girls miss school during their period.
Why? Because schools lack the basic sanitation facilities, they need to manage their menstruation with safety and privacy.
That’s up to 20% of the school year lost because there’s nowhere safe to go to the toilet. The consequences don’t stop there:
- Missed education
- Increased health risks
- Damaged self-esteem
- Higher drop out rates
And when girls drop out, the effects ripple across communities: reduced economic, independence, poor health outcomes, and cycles of poverty that are harder to break.
The Goal
Our Goal: Raise £6,500. 22 Toilets. 455 Girls.
With your help, we’ll build 22 clean, private, and secure toilet blocks, complete with handwashing stations at our partner school in Tanzania. These facilities will:
Provide dignity and privacy during menstruation
Reduce school absences
Improve health outcomes
Empower girls to stay in school e understand the importance of having a safe and stable place to call home. That's why we offer housing support services, including rental assistance and temporary shelter for those experiencing homelessness.
