PEPY combines educational development and responsible travel through its non-profit organization (The PEPY Ride) and its tour company (PEPY Tours), which funds its programs. With a focus on increased access to quality education and encouraging socially responsibly adventure travel, the organization is committed to assisting rural communities as they improve their own standards of living.
The PEPY Ride development projects range from teacher training and literacy programs to a bike-earning program for students in rural areas. Their educational, health, and environmental initiatives are supported primarily through the efforts of PEPY volunteers and funds generated by its tours.
PEPY Tours organizes volunteer and adventure travel in Cambodia. These trips combine adventure travel with rural development education and hands-on volunteer projects. The adventure tours in Cambodia range from environmental education bike treks to volunteer projects such as the construction of rainwater collection units at rural schools. When tourist travel with PEPY, they have an opportunity to see some of Cambodia�s hidden rural towns and connect with the people and programs that their funding supports.
