Starling Farm

Starling Farm is a family owned pepper plantation located in the heart of the world’s premier pepper growing region, Kampot Province, Cambodia. As members of the KPPA (Kampot Pepper Producers Association), with GI (Geographic Indication) status, this guarantees the highest quality product.

The pepper is totally organic, grown using only traditional methods dating back over 1,000 years. The pepper is dried in the sun for several days prior to being sterilized and vacuum packed so that it reaches you as fresh as it left the farm.

Daughters of Cambodia

As an organization, Daughters aims for sustainable outcomes, in which clients can successfully live independently in their own community, and achieve quality of life.

An important part of girls being able to make and sustain lifestyle changes is provision of a job.

These businesses are fair trade, with higher salaries than in other comparable businesses in Cambodia, and good working conditions. Clients are able to access free supplementary services built into the working day including medical care, counseling, creative programs, daycare, and educational programs.

Friends-International

The population of street children and youth continues to grow in Phnom Penh as the capital city attracts children and youth from the provinces. Among other issues, these young people face daily violence and experience a high level of drug use.

In 1994, Friends-International established the Mith Samlanh program in Phnom Penh which helps street children and youth to reintegrate into their families, public school, vocational training and then employment as well as into their rich Cambodian culture.

Pepper Project supports Friends by purchasing Home-based products from their shops in Phnom Penh.

Cambodian Handicraft Association

Cambodian Handicraft Association (CHA) is located in Phnom Penh across the street from the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. CHA was started in 2000 by a group of Khmer people who realised how difficult it is to obtain any sort of employment as a disabled woman in Cambodia. The organisation offers women with disabilities from landmines or polio a new skills base which will eventually allow them to return to their communities and lead an independent life.

Pepper Project supports CHA with the purchase of their hand crafted items including greeting cards.
