A community-led charity event with a creative twist is set to take place on Saturday, May 3rd at The Tin Hat<\/a> in Toul Tom Poung, all in support of the Sorn Foundation<\/a>, a Cambodian non-profit working to empower women and uplift vulnerable families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is more than just a donation drive, it\u2019s a chance for Phnom Penh residents to give back, connect, and make a real impact. With the Sorn Foundation at the heart of the initiative, all funds raised will go directly to supporting their work in Cambodia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give, Grab a Beer, and Win<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From now until May 3rd, locals are encouraged to drop off gently-used or spare clothes, books, gadgets, and household goods at The Tin Hat. On the big day, the best donations will be featured in a pop-up charity sale from 2:30\u20135:30PM, with 100% of proceeds going to the Sorn Foundation. To sweeten the deal, anyone who donates a bag on the day receives a free beer (while stocks last), and the donor of the highest-selling item wins a special prize and a shoutout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening continues with a lively $2 charity quiz with a mix of rounds covering geography, lyrics, Cambodian trivia, and even a comedy storytelling round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Starkey<\/strong>, Strategic Partnerships Advisor for the Sorn Foundation, said, \u201cThe Sorn Foundation is doing vital grassroots work supporting women and children in rural Cambodia, and this event is about getting the wider Phnom Penh community involved. Whether you\u2019re donating a bag, coming for the quiz, or just spreading the word, it all helps.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom, who is also the founder of Cambodia Lifestyle<\/a>, added that his company will be helping to promote the event on their platform and sponsoring a prize on the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sorn Foundation: Changing Lives Through Education<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Founded by Nicola Clements from the UK and Somphors Sorn from Cambodia, the Sorn Foundation<\/strong> is a grassroots charity dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and social exclusion in rural Cambodia. Based in Takeo Province, the foundation provides free education to children, offering English and Khmer lessons, life skills, and a safe space to grow. Their mission is to empower individuals with the tools they need to build a better future through education and community development programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What began as Somphors teaching local children under a tree has evolved into a fully registered school, built from the ground up with the help of dedicated supporters. The foundation has taught over 70 children, provided school supplies, food, and internet access, and supported local students in pursuing higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to education, the Sorn Foundation focuses on reducing violence against women through grassroots education and training initiatives. Programs include women\u2019s rights awareness, parenting support, and sustainable living projects such as vegetable growing and livestock rearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
