Buy a Bicycle 


According to our research; many poor families live far away from schools which forces lots of young students (especially girls) to give up their studies.

In order to encourage them to return to school, we found that a bicycle donation would be useful to local families. 
 

USD 70.00
per bicycle 

Buy School Materials 
 


School materials consist of:
-  10 pieces of blank books
-  10 pieces of pencils
-  10 pieces of pens
-  1 school bag (last for a year)
-  1 school uniform (last for at least one year)
 

USD 10.00 per child 

To help complete a house belonging to a very poor old grandmother 


Currently, Angkor Palace Resort & Spa is helping one of the poorest families (a  68-year old grandmother Ms. Vang living with two granddaughters, aged 6 and 9 years old in Phouk District about 15km away) to build a new home.

The project is still underway after their previous home was destroyed by fire about two years ago. Everyday, the grandmother goes to the pagoda to help the monk in order to earn money to support her two girls and fund the completion of her home.

Please help Ms Vang to see to the construction of her new home which is now taking close to three years. 
 

USD 50.00

per donation


 


 

(USD 800.00 is needed to complete construction of the house) 

Send Students for Extra Class  


In the rural areas of Cambodia, particularly Siem Reap province; school teachers are lowly paid. In order for these teachers to survive, they need to teach extra classes to earn more money.

With many families living in poverty, funds are insufficient for them to send their children for extra classes.

We encourage you to help both school teachers and children to enjoy a better standard of living and quality of  education.
 

USD 15.00 per student


 

(for three months only) 

Hygiene  & Grooming 
 


Many young children live without proper hygiene. These poor children lack the means to purchase basic amenities such as shampoo, touchpaste, soap …etc. Please help the children enjoy better hygiene. 

USD 3.00
per child 

(for two months)  

 

Sam Arng Kar

& Make-Up Training

 		 

Sam Arng Kar, is a course that covers wedding preparations such as  make-up and tailoring of wedding attire.

 

In the countryside, Sam Arng Kar is popular with young girls aged 13 to 18 years old

 

In order to help these girls build a living, funds are needed to pay for these courses which take about eight months to one year.  

 

 

USD 250.00
per girl

(per course) 

Water Wells with Hand Pumps 

 

Access to water supply is a challenge in many rural areas

 

During the dry season (February to April), water supply is even more scarce and villagers source for water underground. They spend much time covering long distances to bring water home.

 

The building of one water well can sustain five families. The project promotes sustainable tourism by helping the local village communities achieve a better life.
 

 

USD 160.00
per water well

 

 

Build a Toilet

 		 

Most villagers live without proper sanitation in their homes. To relieve themselves, they use the open forest.

 

For females and young children, this can be awkward and unsafe especially at night. Funds are needed to help these families attain a better standard of living and sanitation, as well as to sustain a green environment.

 

 

USD 150.00
per toilet

Prolung Khmer

Prolung Khmer – Pottery and Weaving Training Center

Meaningfully translating into “the Soul of Cambodia”, Prolung Khmer strives to revive the ancient Khmer crafts of cotton weaving and pottery making as it provides skills training to marginalized young Cambodian women at the same time.

It was registered in 2004 with the Ministry of Interior as a not-for-profit non-government organization by a Cambodian, Mr. Sin Sokhorn; his Singaporean wife, Tan Seok Ho; and Yuko Ishikawa, a Japanese who has devoted decades to researching Khmer ceramics. With the support of various Singapore and Japanese organizations and educational institutions, the training center’s groundwork was laid.

Exquisite Khmer pottery traces its roots as far as the pre-Angkorian Kingdom of Chenla and Funan, as archaeological diggings have discovered. The ceramics produced by Prolung Khmer is a revival of this craft as its designs and processes pay homage to ancient Khmer Artistry.    

Your purchase of Kramas and ceramic pieces will help fund the training programs for young women and provide a livelihood to the graduates of the training programs. Also, donations of any kind will go long way in the Prolung Khmer project.
