HELP CAMBODIA STAND TO RISE

It's time to unify and empower the Cambodian people

Build a clear path toward Cambodian self-empowerment

At the hands of an unjust government, Cambodians must continue rising together and seeking self-empowerment in order to create the positive change necessary to make their country feel like home again.

That’s where we come in …

Create positive change

with Save Cambodia

Save Cambodia is a non-governmental organization (NGO) run by people who understand Cambodia's challenges.

As the only NGO in special consultative status with the United Nations, we have the processes, resources and access to bring meaningful change to Cambodia and its people.

Our mission is to continue connecting all Cambodians with the tools for self-efficacy and the partnerships with key policymakers and organizations needed to create a free and just Cambodian society for all.

“Save Cambodia not only holds a prominent position as the foremost organization focused on Cambodia, but it also shines as a beacon within and beyond the country's borders. Their track record of impactful initiatives and unwavering commitment to positive change solidifies their standing as the leading force in Cambodian-focused efforts. Remarkably, Save Cambodia's work speaks for itself, making a testament unnecessary.”

— Hong Lim, Former Member of Parliament of Victoria, Australia

Our goals are clear:

  • Unify Cambodian people living across the globe

  • Raise global awareness about our homeland and its struggles

  • Establish effective strategies to improve the lives of Cambodians

  • Achieve self-empowerment for our country and our people

How it works

Stand To Rise

For over eleven years, this three-step system has proven effective as the foundation for building initiatives, campaigns and events that unite our community, speak truth to power and create positive change for our country:

INSPIRE

We deploy volunteers to monitor the Cambodian government's actions, straight from the source in Cambodia. This grassroots reporting approach bridges the international gap in providing a detailed view of the country's current state and opportunities to take action.

How you can help: Join our community to stay in the know on pressing matters that require your attention and action.

ENGAGEMENT

We are the voice of Cambodia to the United Nations. As the only NGO in Special Consultative Status with the UN, we have direct access to key policymakers who take action on behalf of our community, based on detailed reports.

How you can help: Donate to support our efforts with the UN.

AWARENESS

We collaborate with the UN and like-minded advocacy groups to create roadmaps of steps the Khmer community can take to enhance the positive change we seek. We base our community campaigns and events based on these strategies.

How you can help: Join our community to stay in the know on pressing matters that require your attention and action.

“Witnessing the transformative impact of Save Cambodia over the past several years has been nothing short of a phenomenon. Their dedicated efforts are not only indispensable for the people and the nation but also bear global significance.”

— Arline J Lederman, UN Representative, New Jersey, USA
