Siem reap,Kingdom of Cambodia

Funds raised by each of these branches all contribute to a single common programme of work in Cambodia.

The Foundation is committed to helping disadvantaged villagers to help themselves, thereby improving their life expectancy and living standards. In 1997, the Foundation made its first two grants: one in Cambodia towards the training of amputees in marketable skills in Pursat; the other towards the development of an experimental mine-clearing robot machine called “The Dervish” at Edinburgh University, Scotland. Both grants were well used.
