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
