Tabitha Foundation Australia has received a donation of $30,000 from the Cubit Family Foundation. Mark Cubit has provided the following testimonial:

At the Cubit Family Foundation we have been fortunate in being able to travel the world extensively and visit a varied range of projects that help those less fortunate than ourselves. We visited Janne Ritskes (founder of Tabitha Cambodia) in Phonm Penh in April 2008 and were immediately struck by her can-do attitude and desire to make a difference to 1000’s of Cambodian families.

We don’t view our contribution as a donation but rather as an investment - and we were left with the feeling that Janne and her team were well placed to invest our contribution in an efficient and productive manner. In particular we expect Janne’s 14-plus years experience in Cambodia means she has learnt much of what there is to learn about doing business in the country in an effective and culturally empathetic way.
