Since 2015, a share of what we do has gone into housing families in Cambodia, funding scholarships for women, and backing causes closer to home.
“Business success carries a responsibility to create positive change.”
Emma Allen Founder, API
In 2017 Emma founded Houses4Cambodia with three friends to fund the Global Village Housing projects we had supported since 2015. Together they have funded homes for families in rural Cambodia and two school projects in Battambang province, supporting more than 500 children with classrooms, clean water and everyday essentials. Closer to home, we back the We Are Mobilise campaign, working to address homelessness in Australia.
Houses4Cambodia founded. Emma and three friends launch the initiative to fund the GVH school project. A fundraising dinner raises over $30,000 to rebuild the Battambang school, turning a dirt shack into solid walls, a clean-water well, toilets and a playground.
The Tractor School is built. On newly cleared land: two new classrooms, teaching resources, a fresh-water well, toilets and a playground for the school children and their community.
The Kids Project. Sydney children raise over $12,000 at the Kids 4 Cambodia Bingo Night, hand-deliver bikes and school supplies across Battambang province, and fund two more GVH homes.
Improving financial literacy is one of the clearest ways we can create lasting change. Emma's contributions to two Amazon best-selling anthologies, Back Yourself and The Women Changing the World, fund scholarships for women through The Women's Business Collective. She mentors regional teenagers and supports Striking Distance, a self-defence program addressing violence toward women. In 2026 she co-launches She Builds Wealth, a podcast helping women think differently about their financial future.
We support fundraising for The Cancer Council, Oxfam and Beyond Blue. In 2026, Emma took part in Coastrek, raising funds and awareness for mental health. Resilience and wellbeing matter to how we work, not only to what we give to.
