Community Service Projects

Many Cambodian villagers have inadequate knowledge on hygiene and proper sanitations. Some villagers drink water straight from streams or rivers. Many are too poor to afford soap and use soap powder for showers. Many Cambodian village homes do not have toilets, electricity or piped water.

Student volunteers, corporate volunteers or religious volunteers are welcome to improve the lives of the villagers by building basic amenities, such as wells, solar ovens or toilets.  Volunteer groups may also make and distribute soaps to the poor.  Alternatively, volunteers may also distribute rice to the Cambodian villagers. 

Opportunities for volunteer teams to construct walkways or additional water collection system for an orphanage too! 

International medical or dental volunteer groups are welcome too! 

Cambodian Orphanage

The Cambodian orphanage cares for more than 100 orphans below 15 years old.  Prior to their admission to the orphanage, many orphans had to scavenge through trash and search for anything reusable or sellable, to exchange for food.  Homes were usually simple sheds that did little to keep out the wind and the rain. Most orphans had no means to afford 3 meals a day, let alone an education. The orphanage provides the orphans with opportunities for education, skills, livelihood and hope for a better future.

The Cambodian orphanage welcomes gap year students, career breakers, senior volunteers or other independent volunteers who can help for 1 to 6 months.  Volunteers may teach English, Maths, Science through innovative activities, computer, arts and craft or any other useful life skills.
