“We hire local Staff and Tuk Tuk drivers who receive good working conditions, plenty of training, on site English lessons and the possibility to be sponsored with higher education through Babel Education Program. We work together with several organisations and like-minded businesses to support the local community and protect the environment, and we try our best to pass on our knowledge to our guests so that their visit can benefit the local community”.
Babel Education Program
All staff and Tuk Tuk drivers at Babel are getting the opportunity to be sponsored with Higher Education through the Babel Education Program. We offer scholarships at Build Bright University (BBU), ACE school and The University of South East Asia. We also provide English lessons on site at Babel, and we have formerly supported French, German and Spanish classes here at Babel.
Solhaugfond
The fund was set up in 2010 in conjunction with the 60-year birthday celebration of Katrine Solhaug’s father, John-Daniel Solhaug. The main aim of the fund is to support EDUCATION, as we strongly believe that knowledge is the key – the key to the path out of poverty, the key to a better life and a brighter future for Cambodia. The fund is the main supporter of Babel Education Program, but it has also supported young Cambodians through the Young Adult Program of Sangkheum Center for children and several other underprivileged children in different parts of Cambodia. The fund also supports sports programs, healthcare and projects that fight against plastic pollution.
Group Tours
Babel specialise in Group Tours. We have more than 15 years of experience in arranging tours for groups from all over the world, all ages, whatever different needs. To the whole country.
We have a strong focus on Responsible Tourism in everything we do, so we make sure our groups visit the right places - projects who focus on the local community.
Friends International
Friends International started the ChildSafe Movement in 2005 - to protect children and youth from all forms of abuse. Babel Guesthouse has been a ChildSafe certified business since the very beginning of 2008. Every year our staff receive updated ChildSafe training. We are also the first (and only) guesthouse/hotel in Cambodia to include all our Tuk Tuk drivers in this important training to protect children at risk.
