Business Overview
Opposite Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Hotel, Angkor Wat Road, Siem Reap, Cambodia.
The owner of Angkor Cookies, Sachiko Kojima (by the name of "Madam Sachiko"), received the prize, Woman of the Year 2008 (NIKKEI Woman, JAN 2008). We hope that each one of you – visiting from all around the world – will live many beautiful experiences and we wish you a safe and peaceful trip.
Greeting from Madam Sachiko
"We wanted to increase work opportunities for Cambodian people. That was where it all began."
We wish to produce a high-quality Cambodian product made by the hands of Cambodian people, broadening their work opportunities. An individual does not want to always rely on the support of others, but to stand on his or her own feet and live independently. We looked to see what we could do and this was how Angkor Cookies was born. We hope that each one of you – visiting from all around the world – will live many beautiful experiences and we wish you a safe and peaceful trip. This same desire has been poured into our handmade cookies. Beginning with just one cookie, Cambodian people can start living their dreams for the future. We strongly believe that this is the most valuable message for the future of the country.
The Company Aim of Angkor Cookies
Cambodian Products made by Cambodian people
Most people, especially the ones who have never visited Cambodia, have a wrong image that Cambodia is a very dangerous country with civil wars and disruptions, or that it is a very poor country.
But now, more and more tourists visit one of the world's greatest heritage landmarks: Angkor Wat. New hotels and restaurants (Khmer, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, and Italian are opening every day. The local life style is progressing, resulting in more people eating out with their families and getting around in their own cars. There are many Internet cafes and more and more owners of mobile phones.
However, only a few Cambodian people live in newly developed cities. Most Cambodian people live in outer cities or countryside, the same way they had been living long time ago, in houses on stilts, drawing water from wells and thriving most on agriculture. It is traditional to work with the family rather than to study at school. Some children don't go to school, but they help their families to take care of their land.
Tourism prospers in cities; therefore, opportunities to work in the tourism industry are multiplying such as with hotels, restaurants, and travel agencies. Unfortunately, the opportunities are limited to the people who can speak foreign languages like English. With lower education levels, people from the countryside can only hope for a job in their farming village.
In our company, we actively employ this kind of Cambodian people. Not only to assist them but to provide the opportunity to learn, to work, to get rewards for their work and to gain pride for their achievements. The Kingdom is in great need of such opportunities.
We create genuine Cambodian-made products and offer the highest-quality standard.
- Rather than rely on outside supports, we offer them work opportunities to help them stand on their own feet and strengthen their lives.
- Beginning with just one cookie, they can build a better future. We open up new opportunities for young Cambodian people.
- We offer only natural and delicious food, 100% made in Cambodia.
