World Vision Cambodia
As member of the World Vision International Partnership, World Vision Cambodia
is committed to fulfilling the common vision:
We aim to empower our staff and our targeted communities to take part in
building a future for Cambodian children. A future that includes the "fullness
of life" and the will to carry out the work that transforms community members,
making families stronger and more resilient to economic uncertainties. Our next
five year's strategy prioritises the following strategic dimensions: vulnerable
children, empowered communities, transformed systems and structures, through a
refined sectoral focus that will include food and water security,
education, health, peace
and justice and HIV&AIDS.
WVC recognises that as a direct-implementing agency we are faced with unique
challenges, such as to consistently focus on community empowerment approaches
and to think deeply about what a community will 'look' like when WVC is no
longer there. We also recognise that relationships (between and with
individuals, communities and the state) are integral to transformational
development, and by implication they are also the key to community empowerment,
sustainability and gender equity. WVC will transition from a predominantly
needs-based approach to a community empowerment approach and all that may
entail, including a thoughtful and responsible balance of growth with quality
ministry. Social justice features prominently within the strategy, as WVC
recognises and affirms the rights of all men and women, boys and girls to meet
their basic needs while maintaining their dignity as children of God.
Who we serve
World Vision Cambodia's ministry is focused on the lives of Cambodia's poorest
children and their families. We work with children, families and communities
regardless of their religious beliefs, gender, or ethnic background and on a
non-profit basis.
Why we serve
Motivated by our Christian faith, and in partnership with communities and
donors, World Vision Cambodia seeks to enable Cambodian children and their
families realize their God-given potential by tackling the causes of poverty.
How we serve
Relationship is the starting point and end goal of World Vision's Work. Through
helping communities to build relationship with one another and working with
community leaders and children's groups, World Vision helps to build social
networks for children and their families. We work with community members to
build partnerships that enable communities to determine priorities and set
goals that would empower them to achieve development that positively transforms
their lives.
Where we serve
World Vision's ministry includes 27 districts in 7 provinces and Phnom Penh.
Our targeted communities are called Area Development Programmes (ADPs) where a
holistic approach to transformational development is carried out through
long-term partnership with villagers to improve livelihoods for children and
their families. Each of the ADPs focuses on different combinations of the five
areas of focused: food and water security, education, health, peace and justice
and HIV&AIDS.
Serving in Partnership
World Vision valued good partnership with communities, supporters, local
non-government organizations (NGOs), churches, and government ministries of
Cambodia (including the Ministry of Tourism, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of
Social Affairs and Youth Rehabilitation, Ministry of Rural Development,
Ministry of Health); international government partners and international
organizations (including the World Food Programme and World Health
Organisation).
