Orfanato de Tailandia
CARTA DE NUESTRO FUNDADOR
Hace unos 15 años, durante mis viajes de negocios, vi el hambre, la falta de vivienda y la desesperación y decidí hacer algo al respecto.
Tomé la decisión de retirarme de mi vida ejecutiva que me cambió la vida para poder trabajar con algunos colegas cercanos para crear una organización que se enfocara en Delivering Better Lives y que luego se convirtió en nuestro nombre. Sabíamos que al brindar mejores vidas a quienes lo necesitaban, al mismo tiempo, estábamos brindando mejores vidas a nosotros mismos y a otras personas que sabíamos que trabajarían con nosotros.

All Ears Cambodia
Thanks to your continued support, we were able to impact the lives of thousands by providing better access to health care, like in Cambodia, with the Advancing Oto-Audiology Project and the Northern Cambodia Project, where we collaborate with All Ears Cambodia an NGO that works to address hearing-related problems.
The funds provided by Delivering Better Lives, which has allowed the purchase of essential medical equipment, have significantly strengthened the services of the ENT Department at Calmette Hospital in Phnom Penh. It has provided invaluable support for the essential technical resources required for all three aspects of the project – for clinical and training needs. In doing so, your support has provided considerable scope for the development of Otology and audiology services. In pursuit of medical excellence, we have built upon existing resources, to ensure that essential health services are made available for those in need. In doing so, we have begun to
Provide a very positive and sustainable difference to the quality of life of those suffering with ear disease and hearing loss.
The project has had a positive impact on a number of global sustainable development goals (SDGs), as a specialist health service provider countering the disabling effects of ear disease and hearing loss, and with the complementary component of continuing professional development of staff (male and female) working in health.

HAS BEEN LAUNCHED

Matindi is located in a very disadvantaged area and the families have subsistence farming as their main livelihood. Families face widespread poverty due to their dependence on agriculture, which is sometimes not as fruitful as they expect due to weather conditions, pests, etc.
With this training program, the women will gain a new skill that will help them earn a stable income to take care of their families and will give them great self-confidence, increasing their self-esteem and psychological well-being. Our approach is to provide training courses for them to learn to sew.
Due to the weather, the construction of the classroom has been delayed, but classes have already started and it has been great. Delivering Better Lives, Europe & The Middle East has supplied sewing machines. With the help of "Amigos de Sierra Leona", the women of Matindi are learning a new skill that will help them establish their own businesses to support their families and community.
We believe that a project like this is essential to reduce the poverty and inequality suffered by these women, while also granting them a certain economic independence.
