Training at the Heart of Development

The 2024 HM Awards raised funds for hospitality training charity, Sala Baï. Launched in 2002, Sala Baï Hotel and Restaurant school is a program created by French NGO Agir Pour le Cambodge (APLC) in partnership with Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School, to fight poverty and human trafficking through social and professional training of young underprivileged Cambodians.

There are multiple ways you can get involved and help us raise funds for this important charity:

Sponsor a student

Sala Baï is on a mission to offer 150 young underprivileged Cambodians free training each year. However, training costs amount to $5000 per student. To support a student’s training, you can make a pledge of $500 or $1000.
