Georgina and Ian, first met in January 2013 whilst volunteering at a school in Siem Reap. They shared a common desire – to build a sustainable business that provides charities with much needed funding & support. They chose to establish a social enterprise cafe/restaurant in the heart of Siem Reap.
New Leaf opened its doors in July 2013 and within 3 months made its first cash donation. Since then New Leaf has donated over $57,000 and 2,000 books.
We believe education is critical to empower Cambodians and help them make informed decisions, which in turn will reduce poverty. Through education, Cambodia and Siem Reap can achieve a better future.
We donate 20% of profits to a chosen charity and 15% is shared among our Cambodian staff. Since 2013, we have donated over US$57,000 to educational projects in Siem Reap.
