Help An Angel Through The Tevy Foundation

In Cambodian, "Tevy" means Angel. Angels here refer to the children in Cambodia. The Tevy Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a promising future for disadvantaged women.

It does this by providing long-term and sustainable employment opportunities through weaving of the traditional krama (Cambodian scarf) in Kompong Cham Province. These women can weave these krama at home and look after their children at the same time. These krama are sold as the Magic Cool Khmer Tie for the cooling effect that you can feel when wearing the krama around your neck.

As a socially responsible member of the community, Angkor Palace Resort & Spa supports the Tevy Foundation by incorporating the Magic Cool Khmer Tie as a welcome gift for selected accounts. We are pleased to inform that we manage to sell about 1,000 Magic Cool Khmer Ties every month.

Hotel guests can also support the Tevy Foundation through the purchase of a Magic Cool Khmer Tie at USD5.00 from our mini-bar in the guestroom. Your contribution can help support many families in Cambodia.
