New Hope Cambodia is a grass roots, rapidly growing Non-Government Organisation (NGO) run by a dedicated individual, a local Khmer called Sot Suo (Kemsour). The focus of New Hope is ‘free education for all’ as the founders recognise the vital role education plays in helping break the cycle of poverty. The school provides English, maths,computer technology and sewing lessons,free, to over 750 children and adults from Mondul 3, Siem Reap…one of the poorest slum areas in Cambodia. New Hope’s clinic also treats up to one hundred residents each day for burns, wounds, salmonella poisoning, infections and illnesses such as malnutrition, HIV, hepatitis, typhoid, tuberculosis and dengue fever and, as part of their focus, New Hope also operates a traditional Khmer Training Restaurant under the expert guidance of ex-Foreign Correspondents’ Club Head Chef, Srey Mom.
