About
TC4KS, born in 2019, traces its roots back to multiple transformative journeys to Cambodia, where the profound hospitality extended by its people sparked a desire to give back in meaningful ways. Immersed in such genuine warmth and kindness, I felt a deep-seated obligation to contribute positively to the communities that had welcomed me so graciously. This sentiment led to a pivotal conversation with my close friend Rithivit Tep, the General Secretary of the Cambodian Tennis Federation and the driving force behind Tennis Cambodia, igniting the inception of TC4KS.
Our Story
Our discussion centered around the “Grassroots Tennis for Underprivileged Kids” program, a noble initiative fully funded by Tennis Cambodia under Rithivit Tep’s leadership. This program, primarily benefiting children from orphanages like Don Bosco and Happy Chandara, struck a chord with us. Thus, the vision of establishing a Swiss charitable foundation to support this cause began to crystallize.
Our mission was clear: to provide funding and equipment to empower the over 12,000 children involved in this program. As we embark on the fifth year of our journey in 2024, we are steadfast in our commitment to doubling our current support. Furthermore, we’ve identified two personal projects that resonate deeply with us: Ratanak, a young individual from an underprivileged background, and Pailu, the radiant smile of Khmer tennis, who has faced adversity due to the pandemic. We are dedicated to nurturing Pailu’s education and fostering her development as a tennis player.
However, our journey is far from over. We aspire to implement specialized tennis-related training programs and maintain our provision of essential resources such as food and education, thereby ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive. We rely on your ongoing support to guarantee the sustainability and expansion of our programs. Your donation, regardless of its size, will directly contribute to a brighter future for the children.
