From the Founder’s Desk

As the founder of The Better Cambodia I am deeply committed to providing a platform that highlights the positive achievements and developments within Cambodia. The country has made remarkable strides in economic growth, political stability, and social progress in recent years. Despite these milestones, the world often sees Cambodia through the shadow of its tumultuous history.

Cambodia is not only a rapidly emerging economy but also a country with a stable government and impressive growth trajectory. Over the past decade, Cambodia has experienced an average annual economic growth rate of over 7%, fueled by robust performances in the garment and tourism industries. Government initiatives to attract foreign investment and enhance infrastructure have further accelerated economic development. One of the most significant achievements is the substantial reduction in poverty, which has declined from over 50% in 2004 to around 13% in 2019.

Surya Narayan, Founder, The Better Cambodia

In a world where negative news often eclipses the positive, The Better Cambodia is dedicated to showcasing the brighter side of this vibrant nation. Our mission is not to chase unicorn status but to create a genuine impact by transforming the false negative narrative that has overshadowed Cambodia.

For many outside the borders, the Khmer Rouge regime, which ended nearly 40 years ago, remains the most well-known aspect of Cambodia. While it is crucial to remember and learn from history, it is equally important to highlight the progress made since then. Cambodia is a vibrant, diverse country with rich culture, history, and breathtaking natural landscapes.

This is why The Better Cambodia was created. We aim to promote Cambodia and share stories of positive change, innovation, and progress. We showcase the incredible work being done by Cambodian individuals and organizations to build a brighter future.

The Power of Positivity

At The Better Cambodia, we believe in the power of positivity. Our goal is to be the face of Cambodia, highlighting and celebrating even the smallest positive actions. Through our platform, we aim to attract investors and tourists to experience the rich culture, stunning landscapes, and warm-hearted people that define Cambodia.

Our platform is more than just a news outlet. We provide resources and information to help tourists and investors explore Cambodia and support local businesses. By highlighting the best of Cambodia, we aim to change the narrative and attract more positive attention.

Inspiring and Empowering Cambodians

Our work is not just about promoting Cambodia to the rest of the world. We also aim to inspire and empower Cambodians to take pride in their country and contribute to its development. By sharing stories of successful Cambodian entrepreneurs, community leaders, and activists, we hope to encourage others to pursue their own dreams and make a positive impact in their communities.

Sustainable Growth and Authenticity

Cambodia has come a long way since the hard times, but there is still much work to be done. While there are many challenges, focusing on the positive can inspire others to join in creating a better future. The Better Cambodia is built on the foundation of authenticity, integrity, and a genuine love for the country. By sharing positive stories and content, we hope to inspire others to see Cambodia through a new lens, one that highlights its resilience, beauty, and potential.

Aligning with SDG17

Our commitment to sustainable development is evident in our alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 17 (SDG17), which focuses on partnerships for the goals. The Better Cambodia is dedicated to fostering collaborations that promote sustainable growth and benefit all Cambodians. By highlighting these partnerships, we aim to drive positive change and ensure a prosperous future for Cambodia.

Our Commitment

As an impact-driven platform, we prioritize preserving the essence of Cambodia and promoting sustainable growth that benefits all. We understand that the pursuit of profit can sometimes come at the expense of core values. That is why we choose to distance ourselves from the influence of venture capitalists, ensuring that our mission remains unwavering.

The Better Cambodia proudly upholds its core values, refusing to yield to pressures that could compromise our purpose. We are driven by making a meaningful difference. To support our cause through donations, category sponsorships, or advertising, please connect with our team at info@thebettercambodia.com. Let’s unite for a powerful, positive change.

Join us in our journey to reveal the true spirit of Cambodia and make a lasting, positive impact on its future. Together, we can change the narrative and show the world the better side of Cambodia.
