In a remarkable demonstration of solidarity and compassion, the Cambodia Kantha Bopha Foundation (CKBF) has launched its annual “10,000 Riel 10,000 Donors” campaign, raising over $1.3 million in just eleven days. This extraordinary feat, achieved through the generous contributions of more than 138,000 philanthropists, underscores the spirit of “Khmer help Khmer” that continues to unite and inspire the Cambodian people.
Running from June 1 to 30, this month-long campaign aims to provide free medical treatment to Cambodian children, ensuring that every child has the chance to live a healthy and fulfilling life. The success of the campaign is not just measured in monetary terms but in the countless smiles it brings to the faces of the infants and children who represent the future of Cambodia.
Uniting for a Noble Cause
The CKBF’s call to action has resonated deeply across Cambodia, with national and local institutions, major companies, and enterprises organizing fundraising activities to support this vital cause. As of June 11, the foundation announced the successful removal of a cancerous tumor from the kidney of a one-year-old boy at the Kantha Bopha Children’s Hospital. This life-saving surgery, performed free of charge, exemplifies the profound impact of the donations received.
