So how can you help
Currently we have 34 children in residence at Rainbow Orphanage - and we provide some educational assistance to another 80 children in the surrounding community.
We rely ENTIRELY on donations, from passing visitors to the Angkor Wat Temples, from a small group of local hotels and guest houses, and overseas visitors like yourself who may wish to make a once-off or a regular donation when you arrive back home.
Think about getting a few friends together and telling them about the work we are doing - and the difference their donation will make.
We have several projects we wish to implement to make life better for these children but our primary needs are still those related to the provision of food supplies, clothing, medical care and the education of the children in the orphanage - and that’s directly where the money goes.
example: A 50K bag of rice costs US$25. With three meals a day this lasts two and a half days. We need 145 bags annually (= US$3,625) to supplement our own supplies of vegetables, fish and fruit.
