Celebrate with me & Empower Cambodian Villages: Donate Today

For my birthday this year, I am asking for donations to Sustainable Cambodia, Inc. I've chosen this charity because their mission is very near and dear to me. I hope that you will consider contributing as a way of celebrating with me. Every little bit will help me reach the goal that I have set. To learn more about what Sustainable Cambodia, Inc. is and does, I have added a little summary below.

Sustainable Cambodia is a Rotarian-led nonprofit organization that works with the families of rural Cambodian villages to help them achieve sustainability and self-sufficiency through wells, irrigation systems, schools, training, and empowerment. Only native Cambodians are employed as paid staff, and all international officers, directors, and consultants are unpaid volunteers, ensuring that 100% of funding goes directly into the rural village programs.

Cambodian village families have been slowly rebuilding their lives after the Khmer Rouge genocide, but Cambodia remains one of the poorest countries in the world. Rural areas of Cambodia still face severe poverty, lack of health care, and low levels of education, economic opportunity, and resources. Sustainable Cambodia works with YOU to make a huge difference in the lives of these deserving families.

Sustainable Cambodia is not an “aid” organization. They are an empowerment organization. They “teach a person to fish,” but we go one step further: Each village uses a “pass-it-on” element of community service, so the village families not only help themselves but help neighboring villages. The result is sustainability within the villages and replication of the model as village families volunteer to help surrounding villages.
