Housing projects by organizations such as Habitat for Humanity help reduce the housing problems of many people including Cambodians. Many people in Cambodia are very poor and owning a decent home is almost impossible for them. But with the help of people like you who are willing to dedicate their time and effort for some housing projects in the country, you will be building the dreams of these people.

Habitat for Humanity International is an organization that aims to transforms the lives of people through their different housing projects. They build safe, decent and affordable homes for the poor. They have a lot of volunteer opportunities not only in Cambodia but also in other countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. You can check their volunteer opportunities at www.habitat.org.

In Cambodia, around 250,000 people in the capital city of Phnom Penh live in squatter areas, slums and other poor urban communities. They lack secure tenure as they live in dangerous empty spaces such as riverbanks, swamps and railway tracks. Access to water and proper sanitation is also a big problem to them. These are the problems that the Habitat for Humanity International would like to address.

The organization has housing projects in several cities in Cambodia including Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Battambang and Kandal. Aside from housing projects, they also provide livelihood training for families such as agriculture, animal husbandry, business management, liquid soap production, and handicrafts. As a volunteer, you can help in the construction site or in some other ways.

Habitat for Humanity in Cambodia has a long way to go in providing innovative housing projects for Cambodians who are in need. They really need volunteers like you.

If you sign up for this volunteer program, you can add to your itinerary a visit to some of the must-see attractions in Cambodia including the famous Angkor Wat. This will surely be a vacation and volunteer works in one.
