KNGO provides free supplementary education to children and youth in the community in the areas of Khmer literacy, mathematics, English literacy, computer programming, primary health education, community environmental awareness and vocational skills training.

Vision
Our vision is to resolve social and community issues so that children in the communities have a better life in the future.
Mission
We aim to provide free education, without restriction, to children within Bospo Village, Cambodia through non-formal (supplementary) education and vocational skills training.
We are constantly seeking volunteers to assist our Khmer teachers with our English literacy program and to implement a football program. Regardless of whether you have teaching experience or not, the interaction volunteers have with our children makes a huge impact on their development.
This project is a cultural experience as you will be living with a family near the school and have the opportunity to experience the Khmer lifestyle. There are no placement fees to volunteer but there would be a cost of $13 per day for accomodation at a homestay and three Khmer meals a day. Alternatively you can stay in one of the many guesthouses in Battambang.

We are a small organization who needs help with many aspects of our organization. In particular, we need help promoting what we do to raise awareness and to help attract donors and sponsors. This includes promotions via the re-design of our website, via social media and via the production of high quality photos and videos. On occasion, we also need help with grant writing.
I stayed at the homestay and ate with Saveth and his family every day. I loved this and it gave me an opportunity to learn about Saveth and his family and the village.
I definitely want to come back to KNGO and volunteer again. I miss everyone everyday. ”
