What is the logo of the Khmer Temple Foundation?

Our logo of the ancient tree on the roofs of Ta Prohm, a 12th century temple in Siem Reap, represents our two-fold mission:

1. To conserve temple structures while maintaining the splendor of their natural environments, as temples can be damaged if environmental factors, such as trees, are left unmanaged.

2. To spread knowledge of Khmer heritage and culture, much like a tree spreads its majestic branches and roots.

How are you different to other non-profit organisations?

Nothing beats local knowledge. But sadly, conserving Khmer temples is usually reliant on foreign aid. Not only is this process slow, but funding is also not guaranteed. It means Cambodian conservators often waste precious time waiting for the funding they need to save irreplaceable temples. Too many times, we’ve seen ancient buildings in urgent need of treatment suffer significant damage, or even collapse, because help didn’t arrive in time.

Our focus is to put vital funds directly in the hands of the Cambodian people—to cut down the bureaucracy of funding—and provide proper conservation training to Cambodian heritage workers, so people can combine their local knowledge, teach others, and carry out their own work.

How can I support your work?

We rely entirely on private donations from people like you. Nothing we do would be possible without the backing of generous supporters—people who share our passion for restoring and preserving the ancient temples that have been an important part of Cambodian culture and history for centuries.

Please don’t let our majestic temples disappear forever.

Thank you so much! We are beyond grateful for your support.

How will my donation be used? 

Your kind donation today will keep our team of local heritage conservation experts ‘on the ground’ and help provide the specialised resources and training they need to keep the magic of Khmer temples alive. You’ll also help our Cambodian heritage workers to share their knowledge by teaching others—so entire communities can work together to restore and preserve the temples that have been part of their lives for generations.
