One Year of Food for Elderly in a Cambodian Village

Feed a Cambodian Village

We want to provide groceries for the elders of this Cambodian village — to make sure they are fed for a whole year.

A campaign by Art of Kindness — Granny Thuy Charity Fund

What It’s About

In a quiet village in rural Cambodia, grandmas and grandpas live simple lives — some alone, some raising grandchildren, others quietly growing older in peace.

They’re not asking for help.

But often, at their age, they’re forgotten.

That’s where our journey begins.

To honor them, I do what I do best:

I draw them, one by one, and share their stories. Each portrait becomes a gentle reminder to slow down, to care, and to remember those who came before us.

This campaign isn’t about rescuing anyone.

It’s about joy. Dignity. Human connection.

It’s about bringing moments of love, beauty, and belonging —

because every elder deserves to feel seen and cherished.

How It Works

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing short Reels and Stories as I visit the elders, sketch them, and talk about life, love, and memories.

Their portraits become a bridge — between you, wherever you are,

and them, here — where even a small gesture brings light into someone’s day.

✨ And it all begins with one magical event:

August 24th — Granny Gatherings.

A long table under the trees. Steaming rice, curry, fruit, music, laughter, hugs. A celebration of soul, resilience, and shared humanity.

The Goal: Feed This Village for a Year

Every month, we will gift each of them a lovingly prepared “Care Basket” with:

We also provide companionship and regular visits through our local team.

Here, they don’t just eat. They talk, laugh, remember — and belong.

Cost per elder: €67/month

❤️ Total campaign goal: €24,400 = A full year of support for 30 elders + dinner
