Samatoa is a cooperative of environmentally responsible textile based in Siem Reap in Cambodia. It employs 40 spinners at Kampin Puy. But on Wednesday, October 9, a disaster happened because at this moment, it is the rainy season in Cambodia !
Terrible floods submerged many houses near the lake, and the spinning mill. Right now, 800 families are refugees in a camp without electricity, water and food.
We must find ways to help them :
•Emergency food relief
•Emergency bedding/mats
•Emergency clothing
•Emergency personal hygiene items
•Funds for emergency health care (diarrhea and flu).
•Funds for families to rebuild houses
Please help provide much needed support to families serverely affected by flooding
We have already collected 500 kgs of rice, 50 mosquito nets and tents to isolate the remaining houses. But we still need your help !
We must also find ways to reconstruct their homes !
We need as soon as possible to reconstruct their work tools: a new spinning workshop so they can once again earn money to start a new life.
Here in Cambodia, there are no insurance for the underprivileged persons and very little help from NGOs or governments.
We need very urgently money to repatriate homeless to a descent life and find shelter as soon as possible. These families have lost everything, we are counting on your support very quickly!
The 26th october, a team consisting of a doctor and a nurse came to care for the villagers. They treated many conjunctivitis and various wounds.
Many clothes were also distributed.
