CAMBODIAN VISION IN DEVELOPMENT

Cambodian Vision in Development (CVD) is a non-political, humanitarian local non-governmental organization, legally registered with the Ministry of Interior of the Royal Cambodian Government charity Nº. 887. The organization was founded by Mounh Sarath on 1st September 2000.

CVD is fully administered and staffed by Cambodian personnel who gained great length of experience in integrated rural development work, especially amongst vulnerable and underprivileged rural society.

CVD works alongside the disadvantaged communities to improve their living standards and to restore confidence, traditional family structures, economic stability and independence.

Samlaut District of Battambang Province is the most war-torn area of Cambodia. Its population consists entirely of  returnees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who lived under the rule of the Khmer Rouge for nearly 30 years, only to be driven from their homes by fighting after the coup d’etat of 1997, and their children. Samlaut has the highest percentage of landmine victims and other destitute families in Cambodia. These vulnerable families, many of them in desperate need of support, are the focus of CVD’s work.

At the moment CVD has 6 projects:

1. Anti-Child Trafficking
   ( funded by Terre des Hommes – Netherlands)
2. Maddox Jolie Project
   (funded by me)
3. Promoting Civil Society Transformation at Village Level
   (funded by Terre des Hommes – Netherlands)
4. Skills Training Center for Disabled Children
   (funded by Terre des Hommes – Netherlands)
5. Focused HIV/AIDS Prevention & Support
   (funded by Khmer HIV/AIDS Alliance (Khana) – USAID)
6. Focused HIV/AIDS Prevention on Indirect Sex Worker
   (funded by Khmer HIV/AIDS Alliance (Khana) – FPP)

More info about Maddox Jolie Project:

Maddox Jolie Project (MJP) with my initiative, was established to protect and enhance the wildlife, eco-system and watershed conservation values of the Samlaut Multiple Use Area.

The area covers 60,000 hectares and protects the remaining stock of elephants, tigers, leopards, deer, bears and many smaller animals.

MJP Project staff holds training sessions to raise environmental awareness and increase knowledge amongst the villagers and children, who are living near the outskirts of the protected area.

MJP also contributes to the improvement of the living standards of these people.
