Upon their initial visit to Cambodia in 2002, Trevor and Agnieszka Gile, the creators of Liger, fell in love with the nation and its people. Trevor saw that individuals in the poor world did not have the same possibilities as him, having come from modest origins in the Seattle area. Offering opportunities to those who could seize them, in his opinion, would be the great equalizer. Agnieszka found Cambodia to be evocative of her native Poland, which had endured decades of persecution and genocide there during World War II.

Currently housing sixty students, the inaugural Liger Leadership Academy opened its doors in 2012.
Every project incorporates the six basic values of Liger. Each student receives a personal evaluation based on the values applied to each project. Weekly celebrations and recognition are given to students who exhibit these traits.

Being intelligent, creative, or resourceful, particularly when creating new things, is known as ingenuity.
