Economic in Cambodia has grown up for the past decade; many private sectors have developed; however, a number of people living in remote areas haven’t benefited from private sectors especially those who don’t have any education. However, there are some NGOs and entrepreneurs try to create employment for those people to improve their living standards or live above the poverty line. For example, they design a variety of handmade products to sell in Cambodia and abroad. One of the most meaningful projects is working with community to create the eco-tourism projects as a source of their income generation. When they can generate income from their community, they will love and take care of it.   Volunteers will help develop business plans, finding possible marketing strategies, creating new designs, or teaching English to those people.

NOTE: there is no professional training so it is highly recommended that volunteers should be proactive and initiative.

Goals for this project:

• Being a part of giving chances to women and people in remote areas developing their living and income generation
