DECIDING where to buy pyjamas might not seem life changing, but thanks to a charitable Darebin resident your choice of nightwear could change the lives of Cambodian women.

Liz Hoban, of Preston, is the founder of Hope Project Cambodia, an organisation working to help some of the poorest families in a community in north-west Cambodia.

As well as helping with education, training and skills, Hope Project employs 12 women to sew pyjamas and nighties, which are sold at stalls and parties in Melbourne.
