Subject: Letter of Inquiry - Grant Seekers: Cambodia Renewable Energy and
Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development Co. Ltd. (CRESARD).
This letter of inquiry contains a project that deals with the training of the
very poor and handicapped people in Cambodia at CRESARD Eco-Farm over the time span of several years. The
handicapped and the poor are retrained there to again become productive members
of their community. The village will serve as a model for other communities.
This project is at the beginning stages and is in need of funding to succeed.
The goals are to reduce the desperate poverty faced by disabled people in a
country as poor as Cambodia. The long-term goals are: to reach "steady state
operation" where the eco-system of the farm is working in a balanced, efficient
and harmonious way, using available local materials and requiring minimal
external input.
The management of CRESARD is keen to know if your organization would consider a
formal grant application for the use of the $12,000 formerly approved for TODA. CRESARD would appreciate your review of this proposed project (see attached)
since a similar population is being served as was approved for TODA. You may be
assured that the grant money will only be used to benefit the intended
population.
A grant from The South East Asian Rural Development Fund, Inc. would be very
much appreciated by Cresard management to assist in the housing and training of
the very poor and handicapped Cambodians living there.
Sincerely,
Mr. "Tout" Pop Sophat

We have updated the Cresard Eco-Farm website: www.cresard.com/pr01.htm for you
