Smiles of Hope supports local NGO projects in Cambodia.
We do this by supporting the digital development of ambitious and studious young people and then helping them to find a job. We donate laptops, study materials on loan, provide on-site training and ultimately look for clients in Cambodia and abroad.
Smiles of Hope partners with the Better World Academy Organization in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Read our latest blog post to discover how we're contributing to the education of disadvantaged youth through the 'Rubbish School' and how you can help too.
I have been in Cambodia for 10 weeks now, and it almost feels like old times. Even though, I am confronted everywhere with the enormous impact the corona pandemic has on daily life here as well. No tourists for two years; almost no orders for the clothing industry for two years; an economy that has ground to a halt. It is a sign of the otherwise positive Cambodians. Yet a small miracle has taken place in Cambodia.
Last Wednesday Chakrya and I went to visit our friends at Advanced Centre of Empowerment (ACE), to see how our projects were progressing. Frank is unfortunately back in the Netherlands, but glad that Video Calling exists, so we could all get together anyway! After a few turns with the tablets we were all horizontal and we were able to review the progress.
Do you have depreciated laptops? We refurbish and give them a second life
Only with sufficient money can we continue our work. Now, and in the future
We collect English textbooks and study books and ship them to Cambodia
Very normal for us, but very valuable for young people in Cambodia
