Support the Sam Rainsy Party
The Sam Rainsy Party accepts online donations through a secure Pay Pal system.
Unlike the ruling party, which illegally and flagrantly uses state funding for partisan purposes, the Sam Rainsy Party operates entirely from contributions. The SRP believes that the future of Cambodia should grow out of education, good governance, a legitimate separation of powers, and a de-politicization of key social institutions such as the police and the courts.
If you are interested in supporting these ideals, then we encourage you to contribute here. Donations support campaigns, management of party headquarters, and social services.
Please contact your nearest SRP chapter to send us your contribution.
