M’LOP TAPANG
From the very beginning, we at Ride Expeditions have always wanted to give back in some way. As Cambodia was the very first country in which we ran our tours, it seemed fitting that we chose a local charity based there. We chose to donate to M’Lop Tapang, a local non-profit organisation that is based in Sihanoukville.
Our donations go towards their training centre which teaches welding and bike mechanics to teenagers from poor & troubled backgrounds. This gives them a skill that they can then use to get jobs and gain a steady income in the future. Our donations are also used to help pay towards the petrol & maintenance for the buses that transport the kids to and from school.
M’LOP TAPANG
M’Lop Tapang was founded in 2003 with the original intention of helping to care for & feed 6 street children who were sleeping at the beach every night beneath a Tapang tree. Since then the 6 children have grown to over 5,000 kids, with 11 centres across Sihanoukville with the sole aim of helping these kids have a better life.
There are numerous programmes such as child protection, education, medical care, drug & alcohol harm reduction and vocational training centre, amongst others. Of the two vocational training centres, we at Ride Expeditions donate specifically to the centre which teaches motor repairs.
