Welcome to Tabitha Foundation Cambodia
Founder - Janne Ritskes ' Qoute
" I once again marveled how truly blessed I am – how humbled I am that my life is full of sharing my life with others – how very privileged I am that I work in a country where the people actually matter – a country where the government does not feel threatened by people like myself – the only country where I have never been threatened - rather the opposite – encouraged to help those who struggle."

Mission - Our mission is to enable the poorest of the poor in Cambodia to recognize and develop inherent skills and resources in a way that brings dignity and respect within the people we work with; within the country and within the world; and that will result in measurable and visible improvement in the lifestyles of the people we work with.
Vision - The vision is to develop processes which will enable people to actively make their own choices and processes which will result in alleviation of poverty – results which can be clearly identified and seen.

Dear friends and partners,
For many schools in South East Asia the school year is coming to an end. With the ending there is always the planning of the next school year. May I ask all house building teams to submit their dates for house building for the following school year – for teams that are not a school – if you are planning on coming – could you send us your dates – the house building calendar is filling up fast and we would like to make sure that we provide the best service that we can to all of our teams. Thanks so much.
With the year end looming in schools, my daughter Miriam, like so many others is going through the process of tests, papers, etc. One of these was for mathematics – something that Miriam tolerates but says – gee mum, do you even use these functions? Yes, I said – help me with the statistics for this particular family – and so we sat down and did some basic functions.
Cottage Industry
We enable and encourage people from rural villages to craft marketable products at their homes.
Water sources
The Tabitha WATER program runs in parallel with the “Community Development through Savings” program. This program enables families to have access to clean, potable water and to raise a family’s income significantly.
