Donations:
Thanks to our friends at Globalteer we are able to offer a simple and safe way of donating money to the Community Centre through www.justgiving.com/new-hope
One week of Medical supplies = $150 US Dollars
Our doctor treats all who come to us seeking medical aid. These are people who can't afford care at the clinics or hospitals in Siem Reap and would go without any treatment, even for life threatening conditions, if we didn't offer this essential service.
One month of Baby milk formula = $300 US Dollars
We provide good quality nutritious baby milk formula for infants whose mothers are too malnourished to produce breast milk.
School workbooks = $50
Provide a class with a new level of English/Khmer Language workbook.
One roll of fabric for our Sewing Class = $30
We currently have 48 students learning this skill. They use second quality fabric to make different pieces of clothing. For many this skill will be their only opportunity to gain a trade and earn income to feed their children.
Household pack (2 Mats, 2 Blankets, 1 Mosquito Net) = $25 US Dollars
Most families cannot afford the luxury of blankets and cannot afford to replace torn mosquito nets. Mats are used for sitting, eating and sleeping and sometimes weatherproofing walls.
Second hand reconditioned bicycle = $35 US Dollars
A bicycle is used as general transport, to help generate income for the family and for children to travel to and from New Hope for their education.
Start Public Khmer School Pack = $20 US Dollars
(2 school uniforms, 1 schoolbag, 1 pair of shoes, 10 books, pencils etc.) This provides one child with the ability each year to attend formal school as well as New Hope.
50kgs of rice = $30 US Dollars
We provide a monthly rice supplement to families with no possible means or opportunity to earn income to buy rice. These are the most severe cases of poverty and malnutrition in Mondul 3, foraging forest fruits and leaves, water lilies and catching frogs and ants to eat. Each month approximately 95 families collect a 15 kg bag of rice, fish sauce, soy sauce and seasonings which costs approximate $1000 US Dollars a month.
We also have a Family Sponsorship programme which would provide a family with 30kg, 40kg or 50kg of rice depending on the size of the family as well as a small amount of cash. This would help free up their meager income for other needs. Please see our Families in Need page, read their life stories and simply choose a family.
Re-roof a home = $100 US Dollars
This keeps a family out of the rain in the wet season and warm in the cold season.
Build a new home = $350 US Dollars
Many homes are not able to be repaired or re-roofed. They have rotten frames and holes in the walls. With a new home the families are then able to have a peaceful nights' sleep, knowing their meager belongings are secure and their new home will withstand the elements.
Install a water pump = $140 US Dollars
We strategically place water pumps so 5 - 8 families can access the clean water they provide from the shallow water table below. Not only does it dramatically reduce illness as they no longer drink dirty water but also enables residents to grow a small vegetable plot.
Egg/Fish Farm Project - Self Sustainability Project
We are currently raising funds to commence our Fish Farm, Egg and Agriculture Project. We hope to supply fish and vegetables to our poorest families and provide an income for our Centre. New Hope is proposing to build the fish farm, egg and agriculture centre as a community development project.
1. Our Egg Farm will be the first phase of this project. We will build chicken coops alongside the ponds to house 500 chickens. Egg farm projected monthly income = US$1,250 to New Hope (Production could be doubled within 2 years with only a small additional investment)
2. The Fish Farm is the second phase of this project once the egg farm has been completed.
Projected costs for establishing our Fish Farm = US$15,000
Second hand 4wd vehicle for use at the Fish Farm = US$5,000
Fish Farm projected income every 12 months = US$15,000
The third phase will be vegetables. Numerous vegetable vines will be planted immediately to cover the mesh over the fish ponds to provide shade for the fish. The land is prime for various vegetable crops including rice.
If you are feeling particularly generous and might like to support a sustainable project for a very worthy cause, please do not hesitate to email us for a detailed copy of our proposal...
"We would like to thank all kind and generous donors who have already donated to this important project, one which will ensure self-sustainability for New Hope's work with the poor in the future."
