KAPE IS HONORED BY LOTUS CIRCLE AND THE ASIA FOUNDATION IN NEW YORK CITY
Date : 2022-04-20

On 6 April 2022, the KAPE Executive Director (Mr. Sao Vanna), Inclusive Education Coordinator (Ms. Hem Mary), and former KAPE Scholar (Ms. Sim Phally) received a coveted Lotus Leadership Award from The Asia Foundation in recognition of the agency's important work to promote women's development and leadership. The award ceremony offered KAPE the opportunity to speak to the New York elite about its work with Cambodian girls and young women and the many interventions that the agency has organized to support them including the long-running Girls' Education Initiative (GEI) and the Cambodian Tertiary Scholarship Program (CTSP) of which Ms. Phally was herself once a beneficiary and who is now working as a manager within KAPE. All speeches were greeted with loud applause from the audience and bodes well for continued resourcing of the agency's programming. Indeed, those present at the ceremony contributed almost $700,000 to The Asia Foundation for its programming (including KAPE) in about one hour. The ceremony took place in a majestic location on the 34th Floor of the Oriental Mandarin Hotel overlooking Central Park and made the KAPE Team feel like they were literally on the top of the world. This was a crowning event for KAPE and marks an important milestone in the agency's history.
