Your generosity is helping families survive the impact of COVID-19 so they can return to taking care of themselves when things improve. Your contributions help us feed hungry families, pay essential costs to keep our social enterprise running and enable us to share resources with our community partners who are creating their own initiatives to help their staff and their stakeholders.
How Donations Are Distributed
Siem Reap Food Bank
Most of the funds raised through donations are used to purchase and distribute essential food and health care items for families in need of food security.
Essential costs
Our social enterprise, Ability Fair Trade Village (GFTV) is one of the few beacons of hope for people with disabilities in Siem Reap Province. A small portion of the funds raised pays essential overheads to maintain Full Belly Farm (FBF) and the AFTV Retail Shop – currently being used as the SRFB warehouse – until the world returns to “normal”(e.g. rent, electricity, Internet etc.).
Employment Initiatives
We are currently exploring employment opportunities to assist vulnerable people to return to earning a sustainable income. Some funds will be used to cover start-up costs to establish new projects that will benefit the community (e.g. Community Farms to supplement food supplies and provide education opportunities for local people, AFTV Online Shop for artisans with disabilities to sell their products).
Community Support
AFTV is part of a broader community working to end hunger in Siem Reap and where possible we share resources with our local community partners who are helping support their staff & stakeholders, who have one foot out of poverty at best.

Due to COVID lockdowns we were unable to make regular deliveres for a couple of month in 2021. When we resumed we made the decision to provide more privacy for our recipients and no longer post photos here each month.
