A special milestone for Svay Leu: the Mamisch Primary School has officially opened its doors. After weather-related delays and the challenges of the remote location, the building is now complete and filled with the energy of the children who can finally use it.

Since autumn 2025, 22 preschool children have been attending classes each morning. In the afternoons, around 90 children from the surrounding area are expected to have the opportunity to join the English lessons. School uniforms and basic materials for the preschool children have already become part of their daily school routine.
In the future, we also plan to fund and provide a daily warm meal for all 22 preschool children.

With these first steps, a place of safety, structure and new opportunities is taking shape in Svay Leu and we’re grateful to see it grow.

Together with Justin Gorsic, we are currently planning a very special Christmas gift for the supported parent-child group of the KJHV Rhein-Ruhr. The idea: a weekend in the snow with trips to a large toboggan run, time spent together in nature and many unforgettable moments for the four parents and their four children.

It was Justin Gorsic who introduced us to this heartfelt project and who is closely collaborating with us on its implementation. The goal is to offer the families a few days filled with joy, togetherness and lightness, far away from everyday life and with many beautiful memories that will last.

Together with Justin Gorsic, the Tarek Mamisch Foundation will cover the costs of the trip. We are very happy to realize this project in close cooperation with Mr. Gorsic and to give the families a truly special Christmas experience.

We are delighted to support the association MENSCHENMÖGLICHES e.V. with a donation of 2000€. The occasion is the charity tournament on September 13, 2025, held in favor of the project “KummerKumpel.”

In the “KummerKumpel” initiative, young adults who have themselves experienced the loss of a parent volunteer their time to support children and teenagers going through the same. Because of their own stories, they are able to connect in a very special way – by listening, giving encouragement and simply being present when it matters most.

“KummerKumpel” is part of the work of MENSCHENMÖGLICHES e.V., an association that has been accompanying seriously ill people and their families since 2011. One of its key initiatives is “Easing Heavy Burdens from Small Shoulders,” which supports families with underage children in times of illness and grief.

We are deeply impressed by this commitment and want our donation to be a small sign of appreciation. At the same time, we hope to raise awareness for the valuable work of MENSCHENMÖGLICHES – because such projects can only thrive through support and visibility.

Construction at the Mamisch Primary School in Svay Leu is moving ahead steadily: the walls are up, and the building is visibly taking shape. It’s incredible to witness how an unfinished structure is transforming into a place of learning and community.
One special highlight over the past few weeks: we’ve designed and unveiled the school’s official logo! Soon, it will be featured on the students’ uniforms as a symbol of new beginnings, unity, and the power of education. The first versions are already on display at the school site and we can’t wait to see the students wear them with pride.
Another big step: the entrance sign has been installed and it already welcomes curious children passing by.

Exciting news from Svay Leu, Cambodia! Construction of the first Tarek Mamisch Primary School has officially begun, and the dedicated team on site is working with full energy to complete the remaining 60% of the building. Soon, this project will provide 50 children with much-needed access to education, offering them a future they so greatly deserve.

The necessary materials have been provided, and construction is in full swing. In just a few weeks, the children of this remote region in the northwest of Siem Reap Province will be able to enter their very own primary school for the first time.

The location of the first Tarek Mamisch Primary School in Cambodia has been determined: TMF’s first school project will be implemented in Svay Leu, Cambodia. A school project was initiated here to provide 50 children with access to education. Unfortunately, due to lack of financial resources, only 40% of the construction could be completed so far. Since the future of these children’s education is at stake, we have decided to take on the remaining 60% of the construction work, thereby completing the school building.

Thanks to Chanta, who brought this urgent matter to our attention, we are now in a position to carry out this essential initiative for the community. We are proud to be part of this project and to provide these children with the education they deserve.

After nearly all families from the earthquake emergency shelter in Harim, funded by the Tarek Mamisch Foundation, have safely found refuge with relatives, the daily struggle for survival continues for five widows and their 28 children in our tent camp in Harim, Idlib, Syria. The TMF has committed to continue supporting these families so they can live in safety. In addition to providing shelter and food, this includes access to proper education for the children and a stable place to live, allowing them to lead as normal a life as possible.

We are pleased to announce our upcoming project in Cambodia: we plan to build a school near Siem Reap for around 100 children in rural areas where schooling is still not widespread. We are currently looking for a suitable piece of land, which the municipality has generously made available to us. This initiative aims to provide educational opportunities to children who previously had no opportunity and give them access to the “Mamisch primary school” with all the necessary materials. This project was inspired by our guide Shanta, whose incredible life story and commitment to helping his community left a lasting impression on us. Stay tuned for more updates!

On April 9, 2023, the fasting period of Ramadan ended for Muslims worldwide. This was also a day of joy in the tent camp set up by the Tarek Mamisch Foundation for the Syrian refugees from the earthquake disaster of 2022! With special dishes, confectionery and new clothing, the TMF was able to put a smile on faces and donate a piece of tradition and normality.

On March 23, 2024, Tarek Mamisch visited the King Glory school project in Cambodia with his daughters Samira and Jasmina. Since 2021, the Tarek Mamisch Foundation has been supporting numerous students whose parents were no longer able to finance their children’s education due to the poor economic situation since the Corona pandemic. This year, the future-oriented education of the 105 affected students was again ensured thanks to the many generous donors.

As a thank you, the KGIS organized a wonderful celebration where the students were able to show their traditional dances and their gratitude. But above all, this day was filled with the joy of reunion and laid the foundation for further hopeful school years for the students affected.
