Our Board is committed to refusing single use plastic in Cambodia (as we do at home). All of our volunteers refuse single use plastic by taking / purchasing a reusable water bottle, cutlery, bamboo or metal straws, Keep Cups and shopping bags. This takes some effort but it’s a habit well worth forming.

This part of our commitment to the beautiful Cambodian people and to the environment. Climate change will continue to impact the most vulnerable until we work together to rectify our behaviour. In addition, our Branching Out program is being expanded so that we can do our part in regeneration of the vegetation by planting more trees.

Our vision is for a compassionate and inclusive community, focussed on achieving equity for all Cambodian people.
