  • The CWF Model

    With local Phnom Penh students and international volunteer teachers helping to raise money for development work in rural communities, CWF forms a unique model of learning, cultural exchange, and sustainable fundraising.
    Since our inception we have raised over US$60,000 for CRDT, hosted more than 300 volunteers, and we now teach over 900 students every day. We’re dedicated to improving Cambodian skills, opportunities and increasing our cultural perspective, and dedicated to the mission of our partner LNGO Cambodian Rural Development Team.

The Big Picture

stage-image CWF is a popular English-language center for Cambodians in Phnom Penh and is a socially ethical organization committed to a sustainable model of learning and cultural exchange. CWF’s Volunteer in Cambodia program offers a unique volunteer experience as our teaching program allows volunteers to pass on valuable language skills whilst experiencing life in Cambodia’s capital city, Phnom Penh. Our model benefits both our students and volunteers, and also enables us to provide a sustainable source of funding to our local partner NGO, the Cambodian Rural Development Team, whose work benefits some of the poorest rural communities in Northeast Cambodia.

Financial Transparency

stage-image As a non-profit organisation, we believe in open and transparent finances. We are audited annually by independent auditors to ensure full transparency of all financial transactions, compliance with local laws, and compliance with our vision and mission as determined by our Board of Directors. Our audits and annual operational reports are available here.

Our programs are designed to offer a completely unique cultural experience, while still contributing in a concrete way to Cambodian development. Each group lasts a whole semester of teaching at CWF - 3 months, and each semester offers unique cultural experiences - from wedding season in our November - February group, Khmer New Year festivities during our February - May group. Later in the year, the wet season brings incredible natural events such as the reversal of flow of the Tonlé Sap River, and the end of the wet season is marked by Bon Om Teuk - Water Festival.
