Omschrijving van de beoordeling

We are a small grassroots project situated in rural Cambodia. Takeo is one of the poorest

provinces in the country and there are many socio-economic issues including but not limited to, poor healthcare, living conditions, sanitation, domestic violence and underfunded schools. From humble beginnings we have continued to grow and establish ourselves in the community.


CAHCC Happyland’s mission is to provide a safe, supportive and educational environment for local young people and their families, living in disadvantaged conditions. It is our intention, through empowerment and inclusion, to enable young people to pursue their dreams, while being positive role models in their community.


All of our daily activities and working practices follow and are inspired by the UN Convention

on the Rights of the Child. Our primary focus is to:


-Empower and safeguard young people.

-Provide opportunities for personal growth and development.

-Facilitate educational support, classes, workshops and activities.

-Promote sustainability and awareness of environmental issues.

-Encourage/support healthy lifestyles, mindfulness and general well-being.

-Encourage inclusion, with an emphasis on positive interpersonal relationships.

-Support basic needs.

-Assist with further education, medical and dental care.

-Engage with the community in a positive and respectful way.


We believe that play, creativity and imagination are important factors in social and educational development. They play a key role in developing self-awareness, self-confidence and healthy self-esteem.


We recommend that anyone wishing to volunteer for a long period, first commits to one month and then extends their placement here, when they have completed their first month. It is a challenging environment here and it is not always a good fit for some people. Also visa requirements in Cambodia mean that if someone wants to stay in the country for longer than one month, they need to extend their visa. Staying longer than two months, then they will need to exit the country and re-enter to get a new visa. It is a good idea for anyone wishing to stay for a long period, to contact one of the many travel agencies in Phnom Penh for advice about this. We can suggest an agency that we use ourselves.

Happyland is one of those places that is good for your spirit. Although I have been there for a short time, I remember the tears as if they were yesterday when my partner and I left after almost a mounth, spent in the company of great human beings. The harmony that surrounds that place is one of the ...
