It all started in February 2004 after travelling in Cambodia; the idea to build a school in slum area Anlong Khong. Within a year construction was already able to start. The next step became improving the living standards in this community with small scale community development projects. Flexible, creative and entrepeneurial.. small foundation, big difference!

The people behind Active Help Cambodia
The idea to start the foundation was born when board member Rik Kentie travelled through Cambodia, a country living with the awful legacy of the Khmer Rouge regime. He decided to use his enterprises - Skate-fun and Have Fun Events- to raise funds and set up projects, making a contribution to the future of Cambodia.
 
When Rik presented his plans to Heida Raven, who was unsuspectingly admiring his holiday photos, she immediately offered to help. Together they laid the foundations for Active Help Cambodia. Ultimately, Heida even went to Cambodia for 18 months to work full-time for Anlong Khong, thanks to winning a prize.

Hugo Went has taken up the resposibility of Treasurer. Taking care of Active Help Cambodia's financial matters from his administration and tax consultancy office.
