What do you want, and do you plan on saving Cambodia?

It takes a large movement of people and groups to assist a nation. We are a guide for Cambodians to strengthen relationships within the national and international community so they can develop the tools and strategies to start making their country feel like home again.

Why is the organization’s name “Save Cambodia”?

We want to inspire and challenge the meaning of the word, “save” and alter the ideas of dependency on one individual or group to be their savior. Many Cambodians struggle with unity and self-empowerment. Our focus is on unifying the people to achieve self-empowerment by providing resources and opportunities on how to bring awareness, build partnerships and engage on the international stage. We are helping Cambodia Stand to Rise so we can build a sustainable and bright future for our country and our people.

"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path."
