Program Overview

This crucial program works with communities in rural Cambodia, where the people suffer greatly from human rights abuses, discrimination, poverty, health issues, and low education levels. The Community Development Program aims to work with these communities to build a fairer, more egalitarian society, reducing poverty and building knowledge and confidence.

Volunteers work on meaningful programs, including access to education for marginalized communities; food security; asset creation; disaster risk control; and adapting to climate change. They may visit partner communities and help organize events and training sessions to improve current situations. This is a massive undertaking and various projects and initiatives are underway to help local Cambodians achieve a fairer society.

This program helps disadvantaged communities, offering volunteers who truly want to help make a tangible change in the lives of marginalized people.

Opportunity to be part of the solution

I had a wonderful time in Cambodia working with an NGO which provides support to rural communities to adopt sustainable farming practices. Everyone I met was friendly and appreciative, ranging from the manager of the NGO I worked with to the fellow volunteers living at the volunteer accommodation. I had plenty of free time to explore Cambodia and have some experiences I would never have at home.

Hi John,<br/>It's fantastic to see how rewarding your time spent on this program was; both for you and for the communities you were assisting through the work of the NGO in Phnom Penh.<br/>Cambodia is such a special place and captures of the heart of all who visit. The desire to help is felt by many and you and volunteers before and after you are making a very real difference in bringing about the gradual change that's been occurring post genocide.<br/>Thank-you from all of us at Love Volunteers and our partner in Cambodia.

Experience of A lifetime

My 10 weeks in Cambodia was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I was able to contribute in a community and pass on my business knowledge to hopefully sustain further employment amongst the local people in Battambang. What I received in return was a community of people that welcomed me with open arms and for that I will forever be greatful! I also cannot thank Love Volunteers enough for their ongoing support before and throughout the project. Nicole was always there to support me whenever I needed anything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart xx
