Overview

Volunteering in Cambodia is a great opportunity for volunteers who wish to make a difference in the lives of a community where poverty is a major concern. CW Abroad offers volunteering projects in orphanages, hospitals and clinics, but also in the field of IT and social work. There are also environmentally-oriented projects, and others focused on town planning and architecture. Alternatively, volunteers may teach English or other trades to children and young people in the community.

Being a volunteer in such a culturally different location is certainly a challenge. Schools, hospitals and other facilities are poorly resourced, and the funding sources are limited. This is why it is crucial that volunteers are creative to bring initiative and flexibility to each project.

This is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to broaden your international experience, either to prepare for higher education or for personal growth. Be a volunteer in Cambodia and help this population who needs help of any kind.

What’s included in our fair-cost policy?

All our programs include a fixed price Registration Fee of US$249 and a Program Fee that varies according to the duration of the program and the services included.

The Registration Fee covers the costs of all that Connecting Worlds has to do in order to organise the experience in an efficient manner and offer each participant a quality program. These costs include marketing, staff salaries, travel costs of staff who visit and inspect each of the programs on offer and Connecting Worlds’ solidarity fund among others. We need this fee just to sustain the organization.

The Program Fee is the total cost of everything related to the services that the volunteer will be able to take advantage of upon arrival to the destination of their choice. For example, accommodation, meals, transfers, the donation made to the volunteer project, welcome orientation and constant 24/7 support. The payment for this fee goes directly to the country in which the volunteer will be stationed, directly benefiting the local community. It’s a fee which helps organisations that work in the country associated with the program at hand to move forwards with their projects and generate work opportunities for the local community.

Thanks to our fair-cost policy, the volunteer benefits from not having to pay high fees and our local partners benefit from being able to invest in their projects and keep things moving forwards. Connecting Worlds also benefits from keeping the costs of its programs as low as possible because we get the opportunity to support local communities and make a difference in our own small but important way.
