Levy Merchandising, the dedicated retail arm of Levy, is proud to announce a partnership and notable donation to the Cambodian Children’s Fund (CCF) to support the construction and opening of a state-of-the-art sports facility. This partnership is a cornerstone of Levy Merchandising’s “Project Fair Play” initiative, reflecting the company’s global commitment to serving the people and the planet, with particular focus in the regions where they operate.
The new facility, located near the former Steung Meanchey garbage dump, has transformed a once-overgrown wasteland into a safe, modern sanctuary for over 1,200 children. The site features a professional-grade artificial turf soccer pitch, a volleyball court, a badminton court, undercover viewing benches, and dedicated changing facilities.
For the children of Steung Meanchey - many of whom face challenges including extreme poverty and malnutrition - the facility provides a vital outlet for physical and emotional growth. Beyond physical health, the sports program is designed to foster leadership, resilience, and teamwork, keeping students engaged and motivated to continue their education.
"At Levy Merchandising, we believe our responsibility extends far beyond the products we create. During our visits to Cambodia to establish our production operations, we saw firsthand the incredible work CCF does to break the cycle of poverty. Project Fair Play is about ensuring that as our business grows, the communities we work within grow with us. We are honoured to support this facility, providing a safe space for these children to play, learn, and simply be kids."
— Vinny Clark, CEO of Levy Merchandising
The partnership was born out of a visit by Clark and Levy CEO, Jon Davies, who sought to ensure that their business operations in Cambodia left a positive social footprint. By partnering with CCF, Levy Merchandising is helping to provide children who once scavenged for survival with a world-class environment to thrive.
“We are grateful to Levy Merchandising for helping to make this incredible new Sports Facility possible. What was once a wasteland has now been transformed into a safe and inspiring space. For many of our students, this will be their first real opportunity to engage in sports in a supportive environment of this quality. Sport helps build confidence and leadership, and thanks to Levy, more than 1,200 children now have a place where they can develop these skills and enjoy the simple joy of play.”
— Savy Lach, Global Chief Operating Officer at CCF
The facility will serve CCF students ranging from kindergarten through high school, reinforcing the organisation's mission to transform the country’s most impoverished children into tomorrow's leaders.
