Our projects

Working with NGOs

Our local partner works in cooperation more than 40 local NGOs and they can offer volunteer placements for many projects including education, assisting the community, raising awareness against HIV/AIDS and other health issues, or developing environmental sustainability.

NGOs in Cambodia are usually economically limited and have difficulties to receive help from international funding sources to run their projects. They need the support of many volunteers, to raise the necessary funds by writing proposal letters, and to research, administer and develop the organizations as well.

In this program, volunteers work varies based on their skills and interests, but also on how long their stay is. They may work from 3 to 8 hours every day. If they decide to stay for less than two months, volunteers will most probably assist with their English language skills at the NGO; that is, they will be writing proposals, reports or teaching English to other volunteers, among other activities.

If volunteers stay for more than two months, they will be able to become better involved and more independent within the Organization. They may also have the possibility of being part of some field-based research.

It is worth mentioning that NGOs are assigned volunteers based on how suitable and needed they are. Volunteers have to join the project for at least 5 weeks and bring their own laptops. We consider each volunteer’s interests, educational background, skills and experience. They should be at least 19 years old and have relevant studies or job experience, in the area they are willing to be work in!
