We are in Siem Reap, just 10 km from the magnificent temples of Angkor, the capital of the province of Siem Reap in Cambodia. In recent years burgeoning tourism has made the city an international focus, developing a diverse range of businesses.
The local population has been affected by this development, but has been affected at very different levels. Some have been able to adapt to it, working in businesses designed for tourists but the vast majority have not been able to "jump on the bandwagon" and come from very poor villages where the only income is from growing rice in the rainy season. Naturally the people come to Siem Reap looking for a better life but most just find homelessness, alcohol and gambling. Seeing mothers breastfeed children begging on the streets, to see children of all ages as street vendors, rubbish collectors is not the worst because unfortunately there is child sexual abuse.
Please help us to help them, please help sponsor a child or donate today.
CHILD SPONSORSHIP - General Budget
TFC takes in only children who have lost their parents and have no extended family to care for them, or children from at risk living situations. TFC provides a safe, nurturing, “extended family “environment for these children. Child Sponsorship is one way in which we can ensure that TFC receives the funds in a sustainable way for the children in our care. Sponsorship covers all costs involved in helping children who would otherwise be destitute including accommodation, food, clothing, staff wages, training, medical care and much more.
Donate
The work of Together for Cambodia is funded entirely from the kind donations from people like yourself. The only “overheads” that your donation will go towards are the overheads for the actual cost of running the Children’s House and feeding the children, such as the house rental, food and clothing, the education fees and salaries for the Khmer staff. The salaries of the staff are very low compared to the average western wage and so really your donation is going right.
Where it needs to, for the care of the children.

Selling a COOK BOOK with Cambodian food recipes written in English. It was printed a second edition, with the same recipes, but updated with texts and images. Brilliant initiative of Michael Kramer, Australian editor. The full benefits of its sales, $ 20 per book, go directly to the projects of the NGO. It is available in SPOTLIGHT Stores across Australia and also in the bags workshop located in Siem Reap (project we talked about in the Social Business section).Account Name: TOGETHER FOR CAMBODIA ORGANIZATION.
