As part of a MasterCard Purchase with  Purpose\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 initiative, MasterCard will donate US$50 towards the  reconstruction of Hotel de la Paix&#8217;s Sewing School, for every room bill  paid with a MasterCard card between 1st August and 30th November 2010. Hotel de la Paix&#8217;s Sewing School is a vocational facility  funded by the hotel that offers a ten-month programme teaching Khmer  women to sew, speak English and learn basic skills required to set up a  business. Students are given a sewing machine and a kit of materials  upon graduation to enable them to start their own businesses. The  programme reaches out to young rural women from outside Siem Reap, where  access to employment or training is rare. With limited work  opportunities, these uneducated women often find work on construction  sites, earning US$1 per day for 16 hours of hard labour. The funds  collected through this Purchase with Purpose initiative will enable  these women to learn a relevant trade, work in a safe environment and  earn a decent wage. This will help them provide for themselves and their  families, contribute to their communities and build their self-esteem. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mastercard.com\/us\/company\/en\/newsroom\/pr_cambodian_women_08172010.html\" target=\"_blank\">More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>News selected by Covalence | Country: Cambodia |  Company: Mastercard | Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mastercard.com\/us\/company\/en\/newsroom\/pr_cambodian_women_08172010.html\" target=\"_blank\">Mastercard<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MasterCard and Hotel de la Paix are teaming up again to train young rural Khmer women as seamstresses, so they can earn a living and support themselves and their families.
