As presented for the Chiang Mai International Rotary Club in late 2020, the founder of PCF - Sallo Polak - talks about what PCF does, our unique approach and how that affects our choice of projects and how we work with them to improve people's situations.

Since 2011, PCF has helped create opportunities for tens of thousands of beneficiaries. Currently, we have 22 active projects, and only 7.2 team members. 

All this is done with a particular approach - "Stepping Stones" which Sallo explains more fully in the presentation. There are many organizations out there that do a lot of good, and we want to focus on meeting needs for people in 'Hidden Projects' who don't have the means to find help by themselves. 

By listening and finding out what the needs are, we can help people get those specific needs met - whatever they may be - instead of only focusing on one area of development.

Philanthropy Connections Foundation (PCF) is a non-profit organisation that supports people in vulnerable situations.

We work in partnership with local organisations in Thailand, Cambodia and Burma, who know the real problems and needs within their communities. They speak the language and know the culture, making them the ideal partners to implement projects that will address these problems. What they often lack are the resources to find help from outside.

That is where we can help. We find the required help for them and by doing so enable them to do more for their communities. We connect, we engage, we facilitate and if required, we advise. We shine a light onto small, effective grassroots organisations that otherwise would remain invisible.
