HISTORY OF TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION
HISTORY TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION, WAS INCORPORATED AS A 501(C)3 IN 2004. SINCE THEN, THE FOUNDATION HAS RUN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS IN VILLAGES OF RURAL CAMBODIA. THESE PROGRAMS ARE GUIDED BY THE TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION'S MISSION: BY PROVIDING TRAINING AND APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGY, WE EMPOWER RURAL VILLAGERS TO CREATE SELF SUSTAINING PROGRAMS. OUR FOCUS INCLUDES WATER PROJECTS, SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION, AND COMMUNITY BASED DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO FOSTER HEALTHY FAMILIES, SUFFICIENT FOOD, AND SUSTAINABLE INCOMES. WE STRIVE TO PRESERVE THE CULTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE VILLAGES WE WORK IN BY USING A PARTICIPATORY MODEL OF COMMUNITY BASED DEVELOPMENT. THIS MODEL ALLOWS THE VILLAGERS TO IDENTIFY THEIR NEEDS AND EMPOWERS THEM TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH US TO FIND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS TO THEIR MOST PRESSING NEEDS. TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION FIRST VISITED SRAS VILLAGE IN THE PROVINCE OF SIEM REAP CAMBODIA IN 2004. AT THAT TIME SRAS VILLAGE WAS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE POOREST VILLAGES IN THE DISTRICT OF ANGKOR THOM. THE PEOPLE OF SRAS HAD NO ACCESS TO POTABLE WATER; 79% OF MEN AND 92% OF WOMEN WERE ILLITERATE; ONLY 15 CHILDREN OUT OF 600 HAD EVER ATTENDED SCHOOL; AND DISEASES LIKE MALARIA, DYSENTERY, AND DENGUE FEVER CLAIMED THE LIVES OF 1 OUT OF 7 CHILDREN BEFORE THE AGE OF FIVE YEARS OLD. SRAS VILLAGE HAD RECEIVED NO INTERNATIONAL AID AND THE VILLAGERS HAD LITTLE HOPE FOR RISING ABOVE THE WORLD BANK POVERTY DEFINITION OF "THE POOREST OF THE POOR." USING A MODEL OF PARTICIPATORY COMMUNITY BASED DEVELOPMENT, CHRIS AND SCOTT COATS, THE FOUNDERS OF TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION, BEGAN WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH VILLAGERS IN THE ANGKOR THOM DISTRICT REGION TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS AND ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IN THE LAST SIX YEARS TRAILBLAZERS WORK HAS RESULTED IN ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER THROUGH THE INSTALLATION OF OVER 230 WELLS AND OVER 1,800 BIO-SAND WATER FILTERS, CONSTRUCTION OF FOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, ACCESS TO VOCATIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES, AND 11 VILLAGE-RUN SELF-SUSTAINING BANKS THAT MANAGE 54 MICRO-LOANS. THE VILLAGE-RUN BANKS OFFER MICRO-LOANS TO ITS OWN RESIDENTS PROVIDING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EACH VILLAGER TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVELIHOOD AND LIVING CONDITIONS. FOUR YEARS AFTER INCEPTION, VILLAGE BANK FUNDS HAVE GROWN TO THE EQUIVALENT OF MORE THAN $2,524 USD WITH AN ADDITIONAL $277 USD IN INTEREST. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT IN A REGION WHERE THE AVERAGE WAGE IS LESS THAN 25 CENTS A DAY. THE VILLAGE BANK IS TRULY THEIR OWN, AS TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION HAS NOT CONTRIBUTED ANY MONEY TO ITS FUNDS. VILLAGE FUNDS ARE USED FOR PURCHASING LIVESTOCK, PAYING FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT, HOME IMPROVEMENTS, BUYING RICE, STARTING A SMALL BUSINESS, AND MUNICIPAL PROJECTS. TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION FOSTERED THIS SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE AMONG THE PEOPLE OF ANGKOR THOM DISTRICT AND AS OF TODAY, HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES HAVE RISEN TWO FULL POVERTY LEVELS. ACCORDING TO THE WORLD BANK'S POVERTY INDICATORS, THEY ARE NOW JUST "POOR" BUT WITH THEIR NEW SKILLS AND WATER RESOURCES THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SUSTAINABLY IMPROVE THEIR LIVES. THESE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN EMPOWERED TO LIVE SUSTAINABLY WITHOUT A CONTINUING INFLUX OF INTERNATIONAL AID. ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW TRAILBLAZER FOUNDATION IS HEADQUARTERED IN JACKSON, WY, USA. DURING 2010, CO-FOUNDERS, CHRIS AND SCOTT COATS EACH WORKED AN AVERAGE OF 30+ HOURS PER WEEK FOR THE ORGANIZATION FOR A SMALL SALARY. TF'S HOME OFFICE WAS STAFFED BY ONE PART-TIME OFFICE MANAGER.
