Adding a helping hand ABC making a difference to children in Siem Reap

The ABC conference committee and Sorfin Yoshimura have once again set up an initiative — the ONE minute giveback — to support a local children’s charity hospital in Siem Reap. The initiative is set to run throughout the entire 20ABC.

After the very successful 18ABC in Bali in 2019, the ONE Minute Giveback will continue in Siem Reap! In partnership with Sorfin Yoshimura Conference Works, the organizer of ABC will be working towards a HUGE CSR effort to raise funds for Angkor Hospital for Children so they can continue to improve the health and lives of those most in need. In a difficult world post Covid now more than ever our giveback activity has a real chance of helping the lives of those less fortunate than us!

• One in five Cambodians survive on less than US$2.70 a day. (Cambodian Ministry of Planning, 2020)

• A child born in Cambodia is five times more likely to die before their fifth birthday than a child born in a wealthy country.(World Health Organisation, 2015) Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the Asia and Pacific region and is still emerging from decades of conflict.

This year the ONE Minute Giveback will be supporting Angkor Hospital for Children with all proceeds directly improving the lives and health of local children in Siem Reap and help ensure families living in poverty have access to healthcare for their children via the free medical services the hospital provides.

If you are able to make a donation to support Angkor Hospital for Children through the ONE Minute Giveback we would love to hear from you. To deliver our aims of the Giveback we are looking to partner with organisations that will help make a difference in Siem Reap!
