Good Neighbors Cambodia

Good Neighbors Cambodia empowers communities to improve their quality of life and children’s well-being through various programs focused on the following areas:

• Child Protection and Advocacy: We enhance children’s quality of life by providing effective sponsorship services. We strive to improve the quality of services for children in the sponsorship program and create communities where children are safe and can exercise their rights through heightened public awareness.
• Education: We enable people to enjoy the right to education. Our offices collaborate with the provincial Department of Education, Youth, and Sport to support children who suffer from poverty, child labor, and discrimination. We aim to ensure that both girls and boys receive quality public education through enhanced quality, capacity, and management, and that adults have access to lifelong learning opportunities.
• Health: We empower people to exercise their right to health through improved medical services, disease prevention education, and nutritious meals. We strive to provide access to basic healthcare services, quality maternal and child health services, sexual and reproductive health services, and to prevent malnutrition.
• Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene: We ensure that people have the right to safe water and sanitation. We aim to provide access to clean and sufficient drinking water, promote good hygiene practices, and improve sanitation facilities.
• Income Generation: We empower communities to sustainably improve their livelihoods by engaging them in entrepreneurship, agricultural cooperatives, technical and vocational education and training, and specific vocations such as Tuk Tuk drivers and mobile business vendors.
• Environment: We enable people to live in sustainable environments. We strive to promote environmental protection and the sustainable use of resources.

To facilitate these actions, Good Neighbors Cambodia builds community-driven development structures from the grassroots level, such as village and commune organizations. This structure enables people to practice inclusivity and democracy within their communities, promotes non-discrimination, and strengthens solidarity.

Our interventions align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in each sector. Based on the long-term strategic plan, our program interventions connect to the following 10 SDGs: 1) No Poverty, 3) Good Health and Well-being, 4) Quality Education, 5) Gender Equality, 6) Clean Water and Sanitation, 7) Affordable and Clean Energy, 8) Decent Work and Economic Growth, 9) Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, 10) Reduced Inequalities, and 16) Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions.
