What is elpiᵶó?

ἐλπίζω

elpiᵶó (el-pid'-zo) is a Greek word, meaning to hope for, to actively wait for. It's the process of waiting for something that is certain and has already happened.

We are on a mission! Our purpose at Elpiᵶó is to provide a little bit of Hope to those around us. And let’s face, in our current circumstances, who couldn’t do with a little more Hope!

When you purchase through us, not only are you supporting a small local business, but you are also investing into the lives of others. We at Elpiᵶó are humbled by the commands of the LORD and have set up this business for the sole purpose of helping those that may not be able to help themselves.

"Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard (Isaiah 58:6-8, NKJV).

What we do

At Elpiᵶó, we donate a portion of all sales to various projects, mostly in Cambodia, and with the aim of expanding our reach as we grow. Below are some of the amazing projects we currently support.

Hope for Seniors

Hope for Seniors is a not for profit organisation that delivers food packages and other support primarily to the elderly in rural Cambodia. The elderly of Cambodia is largely forgotten group of the population, particularly in rural areas.

School

It is estimated the around 45% of children aged 5-14 are required to work to support their families instead of attending school (https://www.humanium.org/en/cambodia/). Education provides children with a ladder out of poverty and a path to a stable and promising future. (https://www.unicef.org/cambodia/education).
??? Schools mission is to provide quality free education to those that need it the most.

Sokha*

Sokha (a young girl) and her family live in a remote region of South-East Cambodia, in a small village. Village life is still very difficult with no fresh water, no sewerage, very little access to medicine etc. As with most children in her village, Sokha has had very little education, but is a bright and cheerful soul. It is our hope that through our little bit of generosity, Sokha will be able to improve her situation and that of her family. *Name changed for privacy.
