How IT ALL beganEvery now and then in life we get an ‘ah ha’ moment. For us as a company this moment came in early 2018 on a work trip that took us via Cambodia.
It was here that we saw what a difference supporting a charity can make to ordinary people’s lives and the ongoing benefits of that. So Montage decided to put our financial support behind an Australian charity based in Cambodia called Heartprint. |
Who is Heartprint?
Heartprint offers a full community approach to charity, not just focusing on one aspect, but tackling the underlying issues in addition to providing houses for the impoverished, they provide sanitation through toilet blocks and water wells, Their building programs have already helped many Cambodians establish homes, of which they can live safely.
An additional benefit of this is employment opportunities for the locals and teaching them new skills to help break the poverty cycle.
Through ongoing support in the relief of poverty through education opportunities, providing housing through building projects, and work opportunities and other essential programs, Heartprint gives these Cambodians hope, dignity and opportunity, as well as building a brighter future for their local communities

Heartprint's Building ProgramPoverty rates are high in rural Cambodia, where many people are still living on less than $1 a day. In many cases the housing is rudimentary at best and many homes are fragile structures with inadequate walls and dirt floors. Many of these houses do not survive the severe rainstorms.
Heartprint's building program sees this Aussie charity building stilted houses in and around Siem Reap for Cambodian families most in need. Employing locals to help with the build means that not only does this benefit the individual family whose home is being built, but rather extends to the greater community also. |

Working With the CommunityHeartprint access the poorest families with the help of referrals; as well as meeting and profiling them personally, they work with the Chiefs of the villages to make sure they are helping those in their respective communities that need it most.
So you can be sure your donation is going where it'll make the greatest positive difference, ensuring that the people and their communities who are receiving help are the ones that need it most! |
Montage Commercial Interiors are proud to be involved with Heartprint and look forward to many years to come, and many homes built.
