In 2003 M’Lop Tapang (MT) was created by a small group of foreigners and locals. It began as a simple initiative to feed and offer safety to six children who slept under a large Tapang tree on the beach every night, and who were extremely vulnerable to exploitation, but quickly blossomed into a much wider program. Today we work with over 5,000 children, youth and families in the Sihanoukville area, providing disadvantaged children and families access to the learning tools, specialized services, resources, and opportunities they need to build a better future. As M’Lop Tapang continues to grow the purpose of the organization remains to provide protection, just as the tree provided protection to those young children years ago who sheltered under its branches.

This week, our “Back to School” team is helping over 1,000 boys and girls from low-income families get ready for the new school year, starting next month. Each child will receive books, school bags, uniforms, and shoes—essential supplies to ensure they’re equipped for public school! If you’d like to support our efforts, visit https://lnkd.in/ggK8K2ds Even a small donation can make a big difference in a child’s future.
The Cambodia Climate Change Summit is an annual conference hosted by the Ministry of Environment, and this year, M’Lop Tapang was invited to participate. We showcased beautiful artwork depicting various aspects of nature and the environment, and one of our very own vocational training students had the honor of speaking. In front of over 200 people, he bravely shared how he and his friends are witnessing the real impacts of climate change firsthand. He spoke about the steps they are taking and their plans to help protect the planet for future generations. Such courage to speak on these important issues — well done, everyone!
