For a number of years Lotus has been lucky enough to obtain donations from Third Parties to fund specific projects such as Rice Banks, Water Project (canal, water wells, water pond, water filters) and for emergency funding (floods, drought).

In each case (except for emergency funding) Lotus makes sure that:

1. The Donors do not bear any of the local NGOs’ admin costs (these are covered by Lotus’ own funds).  The donors contribute a small percentage to project costs.

2. The Donors receive project proposals from the local NGOs which describe the project, give details, such as the number of beneficiaries, the name of the village the project will be operated in, the reporting procedure and most importantly a breakdown on how the funding will be spent.

3. Control mechanisms are implemented on all its projects and that reports and updates are provided to Donors, where applicable.

The funding is only forwarded on to the local NGO by Lotus once its Third Party Donor has agreed to the project proposal.

All projects supported by Lotus are in line with Cambodian Government regulations.
