Children's Action For Development Get Involved
The Future
CAD currently works in the Ek Phnom District and would welcome opportunities to become involved with other NGOs; especially those working in the areas of health, primary and pre-primary education.
Although CAD is a new NGO, we have enjoyed a strong capacity building partnership with our international and local partners. Our staff have been extensively trained in implementing Child Friendly Schools and our relationship with Future Sense Foundation gives us access to international volunteers teaching English, sport, first aid and a wide range of life skills activities.
If your organization is bidding for funding and needs local partners in the Battambang area, please contact the Executive Director.
How you can help
CAD has an agreement in place with KNGO-Australia (registered charity) so all deductions are tax deductible. If you want to know how you can further support our organization, below are a few ideas.
Previous international volunteers and visitors have met children whose families who are really struggling to send the children to school. To help individual children, please give their name to CAD and offer to sponsor the child for 12 months. There’s no set amount per month—it depends on what you can afford.
If you can only commit to a one-off donation, a bicycle is a great way to change a life. Many children drop out of school after grade 6 because secondary school is too far away. US$120 can literally change a life.
You can also support individual families to start a small business. For example, one person gave a family $300 and this bought 20 chickens, built a chicken house, paid for training and also provided $10 a month for food for 12 months.
School Refurbishment
Get involved and paint a school! You can get a group together to come along to paint it, or just make a tax deductible donation.
