About AHHA Group
Welcome to AHHA Group. We are a collection of social
businesses established in early 2024,
deeply rooted in the vibrant community of Kampot, Cambodia.
Our Foundation: AHHA Education
AHHA Group was born from an urgent need: to create a sustainable, independent financial engine for the charitable work pioneered by AHHA Education. As the global financial landscape shifted, relying on traditional donations to fund free educational programs was no longer viable. Today, AHHA Group operates as a distinct network of self-sustaining, community-driven social enterprises. Running as a full business—paying taxes and operating with no subsidies—the organization is designed specifically to generate the funds needed to support local education and community development from the ground up.
A Sustainable Initiative
Our unique operational model is designed to directly fuel our mission of social impact: 51% of all profits generated from our accommodations and all AHHA Group businesses are channeled directly into funding education, community development and charitable work. The remaining 49% is thoughtfully reinvested into enterprise sustainability, strategic expansion initiatives, and essential operational expenditures.
Our Team
The impactful vision of AHHA Group is driven by our dedicated team. Guided by our leadership, including Mony, who expertly oversees our expanding social enterprises in Kampot, we work together to create real change. Our team brings together experienced managers with a vital group of interns, providing them with invaluable hands-on experience across all our operations.

When you choose AHHA Group, your experience directly translates into community impact. We are deeply committed to funding essential education, community development, and charitable work. Come experience the genuine warmth of Cambodia, find your ideal home away from home, and partner with us to create a sustainable, positive impact.
Community Development Projects supported by AHHA Group
At AHHA Group, we believe that business and philanthropy can—and should—go hand in hand. Our ultimate goal is to serve as a model demonstrating that it is entirely possible to earn while simultaneously driving meaningful community development. To fulfill this vision, we are committed to allocating a minimum of 51% of our resources—and at times even more—directly toward community development and charitable work. While we work closely with our primary partner, AHHA Education Cambodia, our dedication to uplifting communities extends beyond a single organization. We are always open to exploring and supporting new projects that align with our values and require assistance. Below is an overview of the impactful causes we currently support, as well as those we are passionately planning for the future.
Clean Water Project
In many rural villages across Cambodia, the lack of safe drinking water is more than an inconvenience—it is a barrier to health, education, and economic growth. The Clean and Green Water project, carried out by AHHA Education Cambodia, is designed to bring sustainable, life-changing solutions to villages in provinces like Takeo, Kampot, Ratanakiri, Mondulkiri, and Phnom Penh.
AHHA Education, in cooperation with the Czech Embassy of Phnom Penh, has installed water filters in several locations and is training local leaders to maintain the systems, ensuring they remain functional for years to come. At the same time, they teach communities that a clean village is a healthy village; with large-scale trash bins and workshops on waste management, they support a cleaner environment. AHHA Group proudly supports this project financially so that these vital initiatives can be ongoing and reach even more communities.
Scholarship Program
In Cambodia, many children grow up without access to education—especially in remote areas where they are often expected to support their families through work rather than pursue their own future. The scholarship program is facilitated by AHHA Education and financially backed by AHHA Group to ensure education is accessible to everyone.
The program is meant for those who cannot afford their studies. It provides subsidized classes for part-time students at AHHA Education schools, as well as full scholarships that cover food, utility costs, and living expenses for boarding students. For those enrolled in the intensive two-year boarding program—focused on English language skills, IT competencies, and personal development—AHHA Education provides a safe campus environment and three nutritious meals a day. With AHHA Group’s ongoing support, AHHA Education continues to help 95% of its graduates successfully transition into the local labor market, building brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
Improving School Facilities
We believe that a positive, stimulating environment has a lasting impact on children. Rather than just building from the ground up, our focus is on the overall improvement and renovation of existing educational spaces. Through AHHA Group’s financial support, we ensure that AHHA Education schools provide a pleasant, well-equipped place for children to study.
This support funds the renovation of buildings, improved classrooms, and essential school materials. With the help of volunteers, schools are brought to life with colorful murals featuring inspiring drawings and texts.
Cross-Sector Internship Program
We believe in providing practical pathways for youth to develop their potential and secure a meaningful livelihood. To bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, AHHA Group has established a dynamic Internship Program for students from AHHA Education. Through this initiative, students gain hands-on training across our diverse portfolio of social enterprises. Whether they are learning the intricacies of guest relations and hotel management in our hospitality sector, assisting educators at our international school, or gaining technical and logistical experience with AHHA Water, students are immersed in live, professional environments. They acquire essential, cross-functional skills—ranging from accounting and administration to customer service and facility maintenance. By mentoring these students across various industries, we equip them with the confidence, work ethic, and practical expertise needed to thrive in their future careers.
Capacity Building for Teachers and Volunteers
We recognize that the quality of education depends heavily on the educators themselves. Therefore, AHHA Group financially supports the continuous capacity building of AHHA Education teachers and local volunteers. While training in hard skills and curriculum delivery is essential, our programs place a special emphasis on soft skills development. By equipping teachers with enhanced communication, empathy, mentoring, and leadership skills, we empower them to better understand and guide their students, ensuring more holistic personal and academic growth.
Other Initiatives
AHHA Group firmly believes in supporting broader community development and charitable work. We are continually looking to fund projects that fall within this category and uplift those who are most vulnerable. We have already supported smaller-scale initiatives, such as donating rice to people in escalated areas and setting up a free online library for the community.
Future Projects
Community Kitchen
This upcoming project focuses on combating hunger. Unfortunately, in Cambodia, many parents are forced to skip meals or send their children to work on the streets instead of to school. Supported by AHHA Group, this initiative aims to deliver food where it is needed most. Relieving hunger improves physical health and provides the renewed strength needed to participate in work or school. As a result, crime and social instability decrease while personal dignity is restored. Our dream is that no person in Cambodia sleeps hungry. Every plate matters.
School Dustbin Donation
Currently in the planning stages is a new project to donate dustbins to public schools to promote cleaner, healthier environments.
