This second handover ceremony was even more special, with PPCBank’s 2021 fundraising drive involving members of the public. Together with generous contributions from PPCBank staff and clients, the total funds raised across 2021 increased to $10,000.

Phnom Penh, 16 November 2021 – PPCBank has thanked all donors who supported its second “APOPO Fundraising Campaign”. The fundraising drive came to an end on 12 November 2021. The bank’s clients, together with its staff, raised a total of $1,065 Donations were matched dollar-for-dollar by PPCBank. The bank has also donated a further $8,935 to bring the grand total to $10,000.

We know life is tough during the pandemic, we really do, but few people are having as hard a time as those living with the constant threat of landmines in Siem Reap.

That’s why we at PPCBank have been asking for donations from our generous and compassionate clients for this extremely heart-warming campaign. We’re matching 100% of the received donations from all of you.

Siem Reap Province, Cambodia, 14 January 2021 – PPCBank is delighted to hand back 2.4-hectares of land (equivalent to the size of two football fields) to 11 families in Siem Reap Province. This has been made possible thanks to our partnership with the APOPO Humanitarian Demining NGO.

With the generous donation from PPCBank customers, staff and us, we collected around 10,000 USD to support the flood victims in Pursat and Battambang provinces with the good coordination from the National Committee for Disaster Management. For both missions, we are able to contribute a total of 400 drinking water bottles (20 liters/bottle), 850 cases of noodle, 600 packs of canned fish, and 100 packs of fish sauce. Thank you for entrusting us with your budget on this donation.

It’s our great pleasure to be part of Cambodia’s change through our CSR; together with Jeonbuk Bank we mark a new chapter of our CSR activity where we offer a full scholarship to 12 students to pursue their bachelor degree in the university. We hope they will achieve all their goals, and bring the great impact for our society in the future.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia, August 27, 2020 – PPCBank aids the humanitarian landmine clearance project of APOPO, a non-profit organization that clears Cambodian land, removing unexploded landmines and explosives.

Years of war left approximately 1,000 km2 of land surface in Cambodiawith indiscriminately planted landmines and explosives. This has resulted in over 40,000 mine amputees, and placed Cambodia as one of the most mine-affected countries in the world.
