Sao Sary Foundation has been serving since 16 years now. For its phase 2 Programs (2019 – 2029), we need your help to fundraise on the following causes;

1) Build a water treatment plant for distribution of piped water networks for 15,000 poor families in 54 villages of three communes of Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia. Total population to impact directly on this project is 72,000 household members. Each family will be able to access tap water solutions at the doorsteps and they enjoy clean safe drinking water for 25 years with a renewable. 

With a total population of 16.4 million, In 2017, only 1 million Cambodian rural households had piped water supply. Our project is to participate with the Govt of Cambodia, other nonprofit organizations, and private water operators to have piped water for all Cambodians by 2035. 

The capital of investment on this project is $5,5 million US dollars. The Plant is going to produce clean safe piped water equal to 7571 cubic meters per 16 hours operation in a day to have adequate water for consumption by a household with 4.5 members on average.  227,142 is the total consumption per month. 

Sustainable and reliable water supply remain scarce in rural areas even till today.  With a total population of 16.4 million and about 82 percent of the Country’s population (12.6 million) live in Cambodia’s rural areas, and have limited or poor access to clean water.

With financial support from Ngee Ann City through Singapore International Foundation several years ago, Sao Sary Foundation could build a commune hall and refurbish two health centers but due to the greatest needs on the ground therefore, we still need to fundraise for building 40 more units each of; communal hall and health center

with Objectives;

• Reduce the incidence of water and sanitation related diseases through the provision of enhanced water supply and sanitation facilities;
• Increase the capacity of participating communities to adopt improved health and hygiene practices; and
• Strengthen participating communities ’capacity and capability to plan, implement and manage, operate and maintain health and environmental improvements through enhanced water and sanitation facilities

$43,000 US dollars was the budget for building a standard communal hall or a health center and $27,000 US dollars is for refurbishment of a health center.

3) Provide support to 50 orphans and vulnerable children for having proper shelter, food, education, and care. Sao Sary Foundation has three types of sponsorship to the children: full (US$100 per month), educational (US$35 per month) and partial (US$18 per month). Click on https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new  to sign up as a fundraiser now. 

Full sponsorships ($100 per month):

Full sponsorships ($100 per month): The number of children and youths receiving full sponsorships has risen to 56. These sponsorships cover all living and educational expenses as well as pocket money for children and youths who live at the Protection Center. Funding also helps support their biological or adoptive families whom we partner with and our Protection and Learning centers. Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/sponsor-a-child to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new to sign up as a fundraiser for.

These sponsorships allow the children and youths to remain in school, and include financial support for school fees and materials as well as food. Almost all of these, 86, go to girls.  Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/sponsor-a-child to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new to sign up as a fundraiser for.

With a total population of 16.4 million, at least 12.6 million live in Cambodia’s rural areas, and have limited or poor access to clean water. In 2017, over 9.2 million had access to an improved water supply, but only one million rural households had piped water supply.  

To respond to the piped water supply crisis in Cambodia, Sao Sary Foundation has initiated a fundraising campaign to fundraise for building a water treatment plant with its capacity to produce 7571 cubic meters per day. The capital of investment was estimated at $5,5 million US dollars. The project lifespan is 25 years of operation with one time renewable license. 

$2,75 million US dollars will need financial pledge from donors while the rest is contributed by project beneficiaries. Beside the package of funds for construction of the water treatment plant, we also need to fundraise $130 US dollars per household with five household members and numbers of households targeted 1,000 families who are the poorest of the poor in 54 new target villages of Sao Sary Foundation.

Sao Sary Foundation began its first campaign in 2006 to fundraise for 55 bicycles to distribute to 55 poorest Cambodian kids in Kampong Speu Province and our last Campaign was on November 27, 2018 when we distributed 600 bicycles to Cambodian poorest students in one of 25 provinces of Cambodia. We are increasing the number of distributed bicycles and children who receive them every year. Around 2,700 bicycles have been purchased and distributed so far. One used bicycle made in Japan is worth $45 US dollars. You make a difference by sponsoring a bicycle now. 

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. Public school remains 7 kilometers away from home which requires children to cycling back and forth every day 6 days in a week. A poor family has at least three school-age children that they have to allocate at least $111 US dollars per child per year for having a bicycle, school uniforms, footwear, school bag, study materials and school supplies in addition to $192 US dollars as daily pocket money allocation while they can’t afford to cover all ongoing costs. You can join hands with the Sao Sary Foundation to protect the poorest children by offering them opportunities to stay in school.

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. Sao Sary Foundation has been serving the poorest children, their families, and communities for 16 years now. So far, 8,400 Cambodian poorest families have directly impacted our family sponsorships. 

SSF recognized that providing families with the support and skills to become self-sufficient reduces the likelihood that they will withdraw their children from school and send them to work. This is why family sponsorship is the appropriate intervention in some cases. In each case, the goal of family sponsorship is to ensure that by the second year the parents, parent or grandparent is able to support the family through a micro business or other income-generating activity.

What SSF does is help the family draft and implement a business plan and a household development plan, through financial training and coaching. In these cases, families make the transition from subsistence day labor or farming to year-round employment that allows them to save for the future or invest in their business or farms.

We provide initial grants of $75 to $1,250 in start-up capital. Once the business proves viable additional support is sometimes given to expand or upgrade services. In general, SSF does not provide cash to families directly, but helps draft a plan and then delivers the goods necessary to start a business. This is followed by technical support an weekly visits that create an channel for open discussion about the challenges and opportunities posed by a new business. Annual evaluations and audits are made so that both the family and SSF can measure the outcome of the project.

Family sponsorship is $40 per month, about $1.30 a day. This provides the family with access to clean water, nutritious food, vital health care, and improved housing. The funding also includes training and financial support for family business development. The number of families receiving sponsorship has risen from 10 in the previous reporting period to 8,400 currently. Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/family-sponsorship to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new  to sign up as a fundraiser for. 

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. A poor family has at least three school-age children that they have to allocate at least $111 US dollars per child per year for having a bicycle, school uniforms, footwear, school bag, study materials and school supplies in addition to $192 US dollars as daily pocket money allocation while they can’t afford to cover all ongoing costs.

Cambodia has achieved a remarkably high net enrollment ratio (NER) for primary school (95%), although the NER falls precipitously for lower secondary (32%). Despite improvements in recent years in the areas of access and quality of education in Cambodia, dropout is still an issue.

Sao Sary Foundation has three types of sponsorship to the children: full, educational and partial. These go to children and youths who have been, or face the highest risk of being, trafficked or abused. Usually, they live in slum areas in the provincial capital or in villages where there are high rates of food insecurity and indebtedness. Village leaders and residents often assist our field staff in identifying those most at risk of trafficking. This process allows SSF to strengthen relations with communities and involves them in the process or reducing the risk of trafficking and exploitation. A risk assessment is made by our Child Protection team prior to selecting children for sponsorship. This involves discussions with family members as well as the child. Sponsored children and their families also sign a contract that clarifies in detail what they will receive and what is expected of them. Regular follow-up visits (sometimes weekly) are scheduled to ensure the family and child has the support they need to reach their goals.

Over the past year we have fine-tuned our sponsorship program to make it more flexible to sponsors as well as individuals and communities. The number children and youths receiving sponsorships increased from 45 in the last reporting period to 138 early this year. Our sponsors include individuals and groups from around the globe, and we encourage contact between them and the children and families they assist. We have three types of sponsorship: full, educational and partial.

Full sponsorships ($100 per month):

Full sponsorships ($100 per month): The number of children and youths receiving full sponsorships has risen to 56. These sponsorships cover all living and educational expenses as well as pocket money for children and youths who live at the Protection Center. Funding also helps support their biological or adoptive families whom we partner with and our Protection and Learning centers. Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/sponsor-a-child to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new to sign up as a fundraiser for. 

Partial sponsorships ($35 per month):

SSF introduced partial sponsorships (for children and youths who live with their families) in 2006. These sponsorships allow the children and youths to remain in school, and include financial support for school fees and materials as well as food. Almost all of these, 86, go to girls.

Educational sponsorships ($18 per month):

Educational sponsorships (financial support for school fees and materials, including bicycles) have increased to 8400 this year. These sponsorships are making education possible for 8400 children who face a high risk of any form of child labour, trafficking and abuse. Click on https://ssf.give.asia/campaign/sponsor-a-child to make a health center donation with your name and/or https://ssf.give.asia/fundraise/new to sign up as a fundraiser for.

Although Cambodia’s cities continue to grow, about 82 percent of the Country’s population still lives in rural areas. Village life is harsh, and most families do not have access to basic facilities. Sao Sary Foundation has been assisting Cambodian poorest children, their families, and community for 16 years now. Our mission from 2006 – 2019 has impacted directly to 88,000 Cambodians already and we are looking toward assisting another 7,2000 members who reside in 54 villages of three communes in one district of Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia for our next mission 2019 – 2029. 

Each village in Cambodia has a village hall where villagers gather for public celebrations or occasion meetings. The commune council election or national election is also conducted there too. Sao Sary Foundation has identified 54 new villages and we are fundraising $30,000 US dollars to construct one village hall. You can either fund us or help us fundraise to have brand new village halls in those 54 villages.
