In a modern society, it is hard to imagine a life without light, electricity or clean drinking water. Imagine if these basic survival needs are taken away from you. Imagine life without a television, the internet or even a pharmacy around the corner. If you can't then you can imagine why Hope Villages Fund is passionate about providing remote villages the most basic of ammenities we take for granted. |

about hope villages
|
|
Hope Villages Fund is a not-for-profit organisation based in Singapore dedicated to improving the livelihood of the underprivileged in Asia. Set up by a team of professionals from various fields, Hope Villages Fund was inspired two years ago through several visits made to Phum Trea - an impoverished village located in Cambodia along the banks of the Mekong River in Cambodia. We are currently working on projects to foster the establishment of a more sustainable life for the people of Phum Trea. Our mission is to alleviate poverty in the neighbouring countries like Laos and Myanmar as well. |
our projects
|
| Our first and ongoing project is in Phum Trea, where we are making small steps towards toward realising our dream of providing the villagers of Phum Trea a better life. Here is a summary of what has been done to date. Do check in on the Hope Villages Fund Blog for the latest plans and developments. |

what we do
|
|
The word "Hope" in the name of the Fund represents our hope to make a difference in the lives of fellow human beings through education, economic development and medical assistance. It also represents the hope of the recipients to break away from the poverty cycle. We aim to improve their lives with the best possible resources, and to provide them an opportunity to achieve a life of sustainability. With this, we hope to give them a brighter future. |

We welcome help of any sort - give your time for the projects, teach a skill to the villagers, contribute ideas or even a simple prayer. All it takes is a willing heart. If you have experience in such projects, or just would like to contribute ideas, do contact us. |

"O people In a hut made of tin and clay A small boy dreams away Of clean water and a meal a day And not to fear mines as he plays each day O people Somewhere dark and out of the way Aids has found yet another prey To save his life he just couldn't pay Tell me what we're going to do For our brothers in Durban For our sisters in Darfur Show me what we're going to do Are we just going to sit there? Nice and cosy on our armchairs Will we not even make a prayer? You might ask yourself Why should I help these people? They'll tell you why We're not so different from you We have dreams just like you But they were buried with the bodies of our loved ones O people Are we deaf, dumb, and blind? What is going through our minds? Don't we care for the rest of mankind? O people We claim to love peace and justice Why do we preach what we don't practice? Let's help them out of this darkness Tell me what we’re going to do For our brothers in Ethiopia For our sisters in Rwanda Show me what we're going to do Are we just going to sit there? Nice and cosy on our armchairs Will we not even make a prayer?" - Sami Yusuf, Make a Prayer |
