LOLC Cambodia, the leading microfinance institution in Cambodia, held a December 10 ceremony to recognise the achievements of some of the Kingdom’s smartest scholars.
The company presented new laptops and letters of appreciation to 42 high school graduates who achieved an A grade in this year’s Grade 12 national high school examination (Bac.II exam).
Sok Voeun, CEO of LOLC, personally presided over the ceremony.
He explained that each of the lucky students is a child of one of LOLC’s clients, adding that the event reflects the institution's commitment to promoting education in Cambodia.
Also in attendance were senior members of the LOLC management team and staff, as well as the parents and guardians of the students.
Sok Voeun said that organising the laptop and certificate presentation ceremony aims to encourage the A grade students to continue to strive for academic excellence and become valuable human resources for the nation. In addition, the laptops will support students in their studies and research as they enter university.
The initiative aligns with LOLC’s core values, which prioritise education as a key focus area.
“Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world and achieve meaningful development. When students acquire good knowledge, they can transform their own futures, improve their families’ well-being and contribute to a better and more prosperous society,” noted the CEO.
In Nary, an A-grade student from Siem Reap, expressed her gratitude for the recognition. She also explained that receiving the laptop from LOLC would be invaluable for supporting her research and studies as she enters university.
She hoped similar offers would be made available for future A grade students and encouraged the next generation to work hard in their studies, achieve excellent academic results and take advantage of the many opportunities that come after graduating from high school.
Net Saran, the guardian of an A grade student from Siem Reap, shared his excitement about his daughter receiving an award from LOLC. He noted that the award provides essential support for his child and other students, particularly by helping them acquire the necessary study materials for college.
At the same time, Ouk Dara, the guardian of an A-grade student from Phnom Penh, stated that the award serves as an inspiration for students to study harder. As a customer of LOLC, he expressed hope that Cambodia’s largest microfinance institution will continue such initiatives to contribute to the development of education in the country.
He added that LOLC is a microfinance institution that has consistently supported society through various activities in the past. He believed that the continuation of such initiatives will strengthen customer confidence and increase support for LOLC.
LOLC is one of the leading microfinance institutions in Cambodia, with total assets exceeding $1.57 billion and more than 3,652 experienced employees as of September 2024. LOLC is committed to creating lasting positive impact in the community by promoting sustainable financial inclusion, providing exceptional customer care and generating value for all stakeholders.
