ABOUT US
Everyone deserves a place to call home. Global Village Housing is a social enterprise (non-political & non-religious) committed to making that right a reality.
Our mission is to help provide impoverished people with
a safe and secure place to call their own.
​
Living conditions in the remote villages of Cambodia are some of the worst in the world; unsafe, unsanitary and unsure.
Cambodians suffer extreme poverty, earning less than $2 a day,
if they are lucky enough to work.
Children can’t always go to school – and the cycle of poverty continues.
​
However, having a safe place to call home can help create a better future.
Global Village Housing is a grass-roots, passionate and dedicated organisation working hard to make the right changes in Cambodia.
Global Village Housing was founded in 2009 by Jason Thatcher, a man from Melbourne on a mission to make the right changes in Cambodia.
Jason had travelled around parts of southeast Asia and worked closely with many not-for-profit organisations throughout Cambodia. He had seen the extreme poverty in the remote villages and knew that having a safe place to call home was the first step to help break the poverty cycle.
