Strengthening Transparency and Trust: Why We Shared Our 2024 Annual Report on Give.Asia
At the Sao Sary Foundation (SSF), we believe that transparency is not just a principle—it’s a promise. That’s why we’re proud to share our 2024 Annual Report with our global community of supporters, partners, and donors through GIVE.ASIA, one of the online platforms we use to facilitate charitable giving.
While SSF primarily raises funds through direct relationships and offline partnerships, we recognize the importance of making our work accessible to anyone, anywhere, who wishes to support our mission. By publishing our annual report online and linking it to our Give.Asia profile, we’re opening the door to greater visibility, accountability, and donor engagement.

What’s Inside the 2024 Annual Report?
The SSF 2024 Annual Report is more than a summary of numbers—it’s a story of resilience, innovation, and impact. It captures the milestones we’ve achieved, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the vision we’re building for the future.
Here are some highlights from the report:
🎓 Educational Support
In partnership with Ark Electronics and the Ministry of National Defense, SSF delivered:
339 school uniforms (3 sets per student)
113 bicycles to improve school attendance
113 schoolbags with complete stationery kits
2 laptops and 1 printer to modernize school administration
These contributions directly benefited one of the poorest schools in Koh Kong Province, improving access to education and reducing the financial burden on families.
🏥 Healthcare Support
At the request of H.E. Lt. General Seng Sinarin, SSF equipped Ampov Prey Health Center with:
A hybrid renewable energy system for 24/7 power
A B-ultrasound machine, oxygen generator, and 150L autoclave
Emergency stretchers and nutritional support (720 calcium milk cookies)
2 laptops and 1 printer for administrative efficiency
These upgrades now serve over 2,000 patients monthly, enhancing diagnostics, emergency care, and long-term health outcomes.
📱 Technology & Coordination
Thanks to a donation of 14 iPhone 16 devices from Ark Electronics, SSF improved communication and coordination with high-level government partners. This has accelerated project implementation, strengthened institutional trust, and ensured faster responses to community needs.
💰 Long-Term Financial Commitments (2024–2034)
We secured multi-year pledges totaling over $1 million USD, including:
$100,000/year for healthcare
$100,000/year for scholarships
Infrastructure development for 40 commune halls, 40 health centers, and 40 police facilities
