We feels strongly about corporate social responsibility. For this reason, we employ previously impoverished children who have graduated from Pour un Sourire d’Enfant (PSE) — “For a Child’s Smile.” They previously lived on garbage dumps and picked junk to sell for a living and to support their families. We are a part of the PSE team — an international non-governmental organization established in Cambodia in 1995 — that has a commitment to lifting children out of misery and giving them a chance to obtain the best available jobs. This organization rescues children from the dumps, helps them acquire skills and a job to ensure their own ultimate survival, for themselves and their family.

We were first granted funding to implement the Access Program in 2013 to improve the English language skills of 20 students. It has been remarkably two great years for the participants to have benefited immensely from our innovative approach to English language learning and to also have had the opportunities to participate in various Embassy’s events. 

We are currently teaching other 40 students in the new cohort of the Access program. As always, we have started the program with participants having no or limited English knowledge but after only six months, they are already beginning to find their confidence in communicating in English with both their classmates and foreigners.

In February 2019, La Rose Foundation has started up another new corporation with a local organization known as Coalition of Cambodian Farmer Community (CCFC) who has worked closely with farmers across the country to initiate the project of the Hydroponic Farming to support a sustainable farming and improving livelihood for the community people.

The project base is located in Kandal province in the southern of Phnom Penh city around 28km from downtown with an aim of bringing up a new method of farming to the farmers for learning and sharing within the community as a whole. Due to the market demand of the organic product, Hydroponic has offered the very high quality of chemical-free products to the farmers to boot up their income as well as promote the eco-friendly environment in the local community.

"We always shake to any opportunity to cooperate and partner with a local organization, whose shares a similar vision on improving the living standard of the community people, promoting child safe policy and urging our guests, staff and all partners to be part of social contribution for better community and economic growth."
