Charities and such organizations information?
Re: Charities and such organizations information?
I am not in Cambodia at the moment, I've only got intentions to be there at some point in the near future. Of course covid and such makes things a little complicated on timelines. I originally only asked in response to reports of soaring food prices and markets closed down. I felt sad that decent people might have no food and assumed there might be some known charity at least making sure people got fed in these neighborhoods I intended to live in soon. Everywhere I and my family lives have strong welfare states and charitable organizations with large funds.lostjeremy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 10:37 pmWhy not just do it yourself?KTabi wrote:I was told to start a seperate thread last week to ask what charities and organizations one could support with time and/or money due to difficult times for sellers, tourism and travel workers, and lots of other people now.
I don't think anyone should have to go hungry or without shelter if it can be helped. What organizations do you recommend? Thank you for your time.
Pretty easy to find families struggling, especially right now.
Our small middle class neighborhood has a couple of those families.
Not too difficult to go buy a few 50kg sacks of rice. A few cases of noodles and a few kilos of fish and help those around you.

Re: Charities and such organizations information?
You are not here in Cambodia? As Lost J stated you can do here, just buy it and donate it. Have you ever lived here? Does not seem like it. "At the moment" sounds like never. There are very few opportunities for people in need to be supported here. Now it is tragic for them. Your stated mission is admirable and I hope you find a way to do good.KTabi wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 8:24 amI am not in Cambodia at the moment, I've only got intentions to be there at some point in the near future.

Thank you for this. Will give. After all, sharing is caring. Others out there have stomachs too which go hungry when nothing is in it.PPUG wrote: ↑Wed Apr 21, 2021 10:18 pm
I am very impressed by this organisation - COVD Help
They have a FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/covdhelp where you can contribute via ABA for their $8 "Food and Hygiene kits", which they are distributing in PP in conjunction with the IDEA NGO

the most effective charity may be to shame this govt's response
to the problems they have directly created

Why not contribute $8 to COVS Help or a similar organisation?

The short term will be self perpetuating.PPUG wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 9:54 amIn the long term, possibly yesPhnom Poon wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 9:45 am the most effective charity may be to shame this govt's response

As long as aid agencies are taking up the mantle, what incentive does it give the power elite to transition to aiding their own people in a real, long term way?
If others are doing the lions share of aid.........the power structure will continue buying Bentley's.
It's time to rip off the band aid.
Take the average yearly income of a rice farming family of 4. Divide that by the cost of 1 Bentley. That amount could probably support them for 25 years.
It's called tough love. If you truly care about Cambodians then don't enable the power elite and don't turn the hoi palloi into codependents
