Image
  Prince Foundation, formerly known as Prince Charitable Foundation, has unveiled a new logo, name, and vision statement – "Together, Building a Better Future for Cambodia." Prince Foundation is the charitable arm of Prince Holding Group ("Prince Group"), one of Cambodia's largest conglomerates, with various units focusing on three core areas: real estate development, financial services, and consumer services.

The rebranding exercise follows an exhaustive review of Prince Foundation's previous six years of high-impact philanthropic activities, during which time it held more than 250 charity events benefiting more than half a million Cambodians, with total donations exceeding US$14 million.

  For the upcoming academic year, Prince Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of Prince Holding Group ("Prince Group"), one of Cambodia's largest and fastest growing conglomerates, will sponsor the Career Preparation programme run by Caring for Cambodia, a leading charity that provides free education to 7,000 impoverished students. The partnership with Caring for Cambodia, announced on International Youth Day, exemplifies how Prince Group has embarked on a new journey at a critical time when youth unemployment in Cambodia is expected to rise due to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic situation. Prince Group hopes to invest in Cambodia's future by empowering and validating an institutional approach to youth development by supporting the Career Preparation programme. “We are pleased to partner with Prince Holding Group as we look to expand and enhance our Career Preparation program,” said Jamie Amelio, Founder and CEO of Caring for Cambodia. “In the new environment def

Investing In Cambodian Property Market

  Despite the devastating impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on Southeast Asian economies, Cambodia continues to be an attractive investment opportunity for real estate investors due to its unique position at the crossroads of several trends. Cambodia has undergone a significant transition in the two decades since the Khmer Rouge disbanded. The country, once infamous for widespread poverty and ongoing civil strife, has outperformed expectations, having achieved lower-middle-income status by 2015 and aiming for upper-middle-income status by the end of the decade. It has not experienced a recession in more than two decades. Cambodia is an integral part of the ASEAN community and a key launchpad for China's Belt and Road Initiative. However, Cambodia has seen an increase in foreign investment from a variety of sources over the last few years. It appears to be benefiting recently from a reshoring drive as businesses seek to relocate or expand in Southeast Asia. Not only does Cambodia prov

Sustainable Agriculture For Cambodian People

  The COVID-19 pandemic has reset fundamental assumptions underpinning various industries all over the world. In Cambodia, environmental conservation is now an important component of agricultural recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and Prince Group are leading the way. Agriculture employs more than a third of Cambodians, and the current crisis presents an opportunity for the sector to “build back better,” according to the CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural research network. Developing countries, such as Cambodia, rely on agricultural exports and must shift away from traditional farming practises that use fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive processes, and legacy farming methods, all of which contribute to increased deforestation and soil erosion. Chen Zhi and Prince Group launched the Ecological Agriculture Plantation at Prince Manor Resort in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, earlier this year, a cutting-edge agricultural hub at a new real estate development that will plant th
