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. Now there is even a non-profit shop. Young, 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 in Cambodia, a country living with the awful legacy of the Khmer Rouge regime. He decided to use his businesses - Skate-fun and Have Fun Events- to raise funds and set up projects,  thus making a contribution to the future of Cambodia.
 
When Rik presented his plan to Heida Raven, who was unsuspectingly admiring his holiday photographs, 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 with Anlong Khong.

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.
