Nourishment & Stability
Monthly food support and regular assistance for elderly people living in rural Cambodia.
Our founding story
In April 2024, on a humid evening at the Night Market of Koh Phangan, artist Samalia Swan sat down to draw a quiet Cambodian grandmother selling banana cakes.
When Samalia posted a short reel about this story, it went viral. Strangers from every corner of the world wrote to ask how they could help. The answer became Granny Thuy Charity Fund — and a small but stubborn promise to look after the elderly who had been forgotten by everyone else.
In May 2025, Granny Thuy passed away peacefully. Her spirit lives on in every food package, every repaired roof, every community dinner we hold across the villages of Cambodia.
