Smoat is delighted to donate £1,800 following our amazing musical SMOATATHON event to IMPACT Foundation.

The funding will be used to provide health services via The Lake Clinic, who are dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children living on the Tonlé Sap Lake in northern Cambodia.

The Child Health Programme provides clinic and community health services, working closely with schools. Children benefit from health education, oral health education, improved dental health and improved nutrition by establishing home gardens.

The Child Health Initiative enables our outreach team to take action in impoverished villages, providing health checks to spot conditions that could cause disability in children under five, as well as establishing Mothers Clubs to promote health awareness, improve nutrition and improve sanitation.

Smoat funding will support services and kitchen gardens in four schools and reach hundreds of children. 🌏🌱🇰🇭🩺
