Volunteer on this project, and you could find yourself getting your hands dirty drilling for water, building sanitation facilities, working on an organic farm, planting trees or building a library. 

You’ll work alongside rural Cambodians, see the real Cambodia and experience the local culture in a way that even the most hardened of backpackers can only dream of and you’ll make a difference in the process, helping impoverished rural communities take their first few steps toward building themselves a life free from poverty. 

With a minimum placement length of one week and prices starting at US$1050, this is an ideal opportunity to get your hands dirty, experience the real Cambodia, and make a real difference.
