Poverty is not about a lack of talent—it's often about a lack of opportunity. In rural Cambodia, countless families possess the motivation, skills, and work ethic to succeed, but they’re trapped by systemic barriers and a lack of capital. A few hundred dollars can mean the difference between survival and self-sufficiency.

With a one-time donation of $250, you can provide a low-income family with a micro-grant to start or expand a small business. This isn’t just a handout—it’s seed funding that sparks independence, dignity, and long-term resilience.

Examples of businesses your gift could support include:

• Buying a sewing machine for a woman to begin tailoring

• Setting up a roadside food cart or produce stall

• Purchasing chickens or pigs for home-based livestock raising

• Investing in tools for carpentry or motorcycle repair

• Launching a home-based weaving or craft business

Each micro-grant is paired with GHASDO's Asia mentorship and business coaching, helping recipients plan, budget, and track growth. GHASDO Asia also conducts follow-ups to ensure funds are used wisely and support is ongoing.

Through this program, your donation becomes part of a collaborative effort that supports 47 families—each with a unique story, set of skills, and dream to build a better life. And when one family succeeds, others are inspired to follow.

These grants do more than change income—they transform identity. Parents can send children to school. Women gain power and recognition in their communities. Rural economies grow from the ground up.

When you give a family the means to build their own future, you’re not just giving money—you’re unlocking potential, stability, and freedom.
