Help us support and care for the children and families in Cambodia by providing some basic necessities.
Manawatu / Whanganui
Many families and children in Cambodia live without the basic needs for life and, because of this, have limited opportunities. We can help and support these people by raising money for a water well, 140 uniforms, 2 children's programmes, a teachers seminar and a building project.
Westmount Manawatu is involved in this fundraiser for Cambodia as two of our teachers (Mr Seumanu and Mr Bennett) are going to Cambodia in the term 3 holidays to help people there. Also, as students and families with the basic necessities, such as, a dry house, clean water and an education, we feel that this is a great opportunity for us to help out and provide these opportunities for others.
So, how important is our fundraising?
1 water well ($2,250) can supply water to 100 village people.
2 children's programmes ($250 each) can care for up to 150 village children each. These programmes include water, food and resources for the children.
A Cambodian child can get an education when they have a uniform ($14 each). By providing 140 uniforms, we can give 140 children an education. A uniform includes a white shirt and trousers or a long skirt.
A Teachers Training Seminar ($1000) educates 100 Cambodian teachers for 4 days. This includes water, food, petrol money for scooters and resources packs for each teacher.
A building project ($500) repairs a widow's house and provides them with mosquito nets, blankets and a bicycle.
Altogether, this is a total of $6,250. Extend a helping hand to Cambodia!
Westmount has campuses nationwide and we are situated at the Manawatu Campus in Palmerston North.

$6250 TARGET SMASHED!! 26 September 2016
It's amazing to be able to announce that we have smashed our target of $6250!!! Including what is on the Give-a-Little page now, plus money that we know is coming in and money that we have raised that won't go through the page, we have now raised over $7000! Absolutely astounding result.... can't thank all our incredible donors enough! Your generosity is going to make such a huge difference in the lives of Cambodian people. You are giving 140 children access to education, 100 villagers a well that will provide them with fresh water, better living conditions for a Cambodian family in desperate need, a fun programme for up to 300 children, and training for their teachers..... so that our legacy lives on! Thanks so much :)
Mr Seumanu and Mr Bennett left on Saturday morning for Cambodia, enthusiastic and excited about the opportunity to help these people. We hope they enjoy themselves and can't wait to hear all about it when they get back!
