Wing Bank and Well Academy Empower Cambodia’s Youth for a Resilient Future

February 17, 2025

Wing Bank, in collaboration with Well Academy, is taking a significant step in shaping a brighter future for Cambodia’s youth.  The “Youth Wellbeing Forum: Building Resilience to Overcome Life Challenges” aims to equip young individuals with essential life skills, fostering resilience, well-being, and a sense of purpose.

A community’s strength lies in the potential of its youth—not just in their talents and ambitions, but in their ability to navigate life’s challenges with confidence, adaptability, and a strong sense of well-being. Recognizing this, Wing Bank has stepped forward to support this full-day workshop last weekend, which engaged over 200 young participants in practical learning experiences that enhance their physical, mental, and emotional wellness.

Mr. Dymtro Kolechko, Chief Executive Officer of Wing Bank, highlighted the importance of youth well-being in building a thriving society. “The health and happiness of young people are the foundation of success—not just for individuals, but for communities. When young minds are nurtured with resilience, knowledge, and a sense of self-worth, they become the driving force behind innovation, economic growth, and social harmony.”

The Youth Wellbeing Forum last weekend covered a diverse range of topics crucial for personal growth, including overcoming life’s challenges, practicing self-love, yoga and meditation, nutrition, building positive energy, financial management, responsible social media use, and career development opportunities. By addressing these aspects, the initiative provides young individuals with the tools they need to build a meaningful and balanced life.

Mrs. Virak Bonnarath, Executive Director of WELL, said that “This support allows us to create a space where young people can find inspiration, motivation, and practical guidance to navigate life with confidence. Thanks to Wing Bank’s support, we can bring hope and positivity to youth, encouraging them to dream bigger and live with purpose.”

This collaboration extends beyond a single event. Since September last year, Wing Bank has also provided in-kind support to the Well Academy for training programs tailored for MSMEs and startups. These programs cover essential areas such as business development, financial literacy, health protection, employee and customer well-being, bookkeeping, digital skills, and online marketing. Through this continued support, Wing Bank not only empowers youth but also strengthens entrepreneurs, ensuring that businesses and communities thrive together.
