Helping Oxfam in Africa and Kampuchea House in Cambodia

As much as we love the world of digital technology at LCubed, we realise that there are more important things in life than beautiful programming code and the latest web-design trends.

That’s why we spend a proportion of our time – and money – supporting charitable causes. Today Annette, one of the LCubed team, chose to donate her bonus to two fantastic causes – Kampuchea House in Cambodia and the Oxfam East Africa Food Crisis Appeal.

One of our company initiatives is to top up any LCubed employee donations to charity with an extra 50%. We’re delighted to be able to add to Annette’s generous contribution. Here’s a little detail about how the money will help less-fortunate communities …

Kampuchea House is an Australian-based organisation, which runs an orphanage in Siam Reap, Cambodia.  It provides orphaned Cambodian children in the Sotnikum District with housing, security, education and a family environment in a traditional setting.  They have recently completed a new house and have taken in 8 new orphans, so the money I and LCubed are donating will go towards a range of things such as:  bedding, clothing, medical & dental tests, school books & school uniforms.

Our donation to The Oxfam East Africa Food Crisis Appeal will help to provide urgent relief and develop sustainable solutions to provide food for the future for the millions in Africa who are facing a humanitarian crisis caused by drought, conflict, and rising food prices.  Note: Should the funds raised exceed the amount required to meet the immediate and longer term needs of the people in the affected areas, Oxfam Australia will direct donations to our International Crisis Fund to enable us to rapidly address emergencies as they occur.
