BECOME MORE CHARITY

OUR MISSION

Help children and villages create stronger futures through sustainable education, health, and economic opportunity.

HOW IT STARTED

BORN FROM FIELDWORK. BUILT ON EVIDENCE. DRIVEN BY PEOPLE

Become More did not start with a fundraising campaign or a marketing plan. It started with a researcher walking through devastated Cambodian villages trying to understand why people make dangerous economic decisions when they have no other options.

Dr. Wade Roberts spent years in rural Cambodia studying the landmine crisis, documenting how poverty and limited economic alternatives drove boys to enter minefields to collect scrap metal for a few dollars. His research was among the first to demonstrate empirically that global commodity prices were directly influencing landmine-related deaths at the village level.

That insight, that people do not need to be rescued, they need better options, became the philosophical foundation of everything Become More does today.

Dr. Wade C. Roberts is the founder of Become More and the author of Landmines in Cambodia: Past, Present, and Future. His academic work on the economic and behavioral dimensions of humanitarian crises continues to inform the organization's approach to village-level development.

WHAT WE DO

THREE PILLARS. ONE MISSION

Each program is designed to work on its own and amplify the others.

Together they create an economic ecosystem that gives entire villages a path forward.

EDUCATION

School access, uniforms and supplies, English language schools, financial literacy, and transportation support. The tools that give children a real future.

LEARN MORE

HEALTH

Clean water systems, prenatal support, feminine hygiene access, dental and vision outreach, and sanitation improvements. The foundation that makes everything else possible.

LEARN MORE

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The Fat Cow Program, village sustainability projects, Karma's Flame ecotourism, and English education that creates 12 to 20 times more earning potential.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

THE PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE

EVERY DECISION WE MAKE

People Need Options, Not Rescue

Poverty is not a moral failing. It is a response to limited options. When better economic alternatives exist, people choose them. Become More focuses on creating those alternatives, not on treating people as victims.

Sustainability Over Relief

Every program is designed to sustain itself. Karma Cows pass to other families. English-educated graduates earn more and invest in their communities. The ripple effect is the whole point. Short-term aid creates dependency. Long-term development creates self-sufficiency.

Inside Villages, Not From a Distance

Become More works directly inside Cambodian villages and develops relationships within communities rather than operating through detached systems. Real change requires real presence. We know the families we serve by name.

Connection Changes Everything

This is not anonymous giving. Sponsors build real relationships with real children. Monthly calls. Photos. Updates. Fulfillment Trips. The connection is not a nice-to-have. It is the thing that sustains commitment and deepens impact on both sides of the relationship.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

MANY ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDE TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE. BECOME MORE IS DESIGNED AROUND SOMETHING ELSE.

Real Relationships

Sponsors support real children in real villages and have opportunities to receive updates, join monthly calls, and even visit Cambodia through Fulfillment Trips. This is not anonymous giving. It is a genuine human connection.

Whole Village Development

Rather than focusing on only one issue, Become More works across education, health, clean water, and economic development simultaneously. This creates deeper and more lasting impact than any single-issue approach can achieve.

Sustainable by Design

Programs are designed to help villages move toward greater self-sufficiency over time rather than dependency. The goal is to build villages that no longer need Become More. That is what success looks like.

Evidence-Based Approach

Become More is built on decades of field research and academic work. Programs are designed based on what the data shows actually works, not on what sounds good in a fundraising campaign. Every initiative is measurable and accountable.

Experience-Based Impact

Through Fulfillment Trips and village immersion experiences, supporters can personally witness the impact their sponsorship helps create. Most donors never get to see where their money goes. Become More invites you to come and see for yourself.

WHERE WE ARE GOING

THE MISSION DOES NOT END WHEN A

CHILD GRADUATES HIGH SCHOOL

Become More is committed to sustainable, intentional growth. Every expansion of the

program is done carefully, ensuring that every child receives the personalized connection

and care they deserve.

The vision is simple: villages that no longer need outside intervention because they have the education, the health infrastructure, the economic opportunity, and the community strength to sustain themselves. That is what becoming more looks like.

100

New Sponsors in 2026

Our 2026 goal. Sustainable, intentional growth that ensures every new student receives the same quality of connection and support as those already enrolled.

$73

Changes Everything

One sponsorship. One child. One family. One village. The ripple effect of that single decision reaches far beyond the student whose name is on the form.

THE BECOME MORE JOURNEY

READY TO BE PART OF THE

MISSION?

The most direct way to create lasting change is a student

sponsorship. $73 a month. One real child. A relationship that will

change both of you all the way through high school.

DO MORE. GIVE MORE. BECOME MORE.
