Mission
Our mission is to empower rural Cambodian villages in becoming self-sustaining communities that coordinate their own development committees and Self-Help Groups to implement programs that address their highest needs. Programs include wells and safe water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Bio-Sand and Ceramic Filters, Rooftop Rainwater Harvest tanks (RRH), Gardens, Agriculture and Pass-On Animals, Economic Opportunities, Healthcare workshops, especially for women, Days for Girls Kits and extensive Educational Enrichment programs for children from preschools through graduation. Education programs include instruction in the students' native language of Khmer, Math, English, Computers, Literacy and Library Time, Traditional Cambodian Dance, Health and Hygiene and Advanced Tutor Classes. Youth Clubs self-organize community service projects, host events and develop leadership skills. All paid staff members are native Cambodians. Everyone else is an unpaid volunteer, including the board of directors.
