KNGO provides free English, computer skills and supplementary Khmer literacy and mathematics classes to the children of Bospo Village and surrounding areas.
What is KNGO?
KNGO is a non-governmental organization in Bospo Village, Battambang Province, Cambodia. KNGO was founded in early 2008 as a private, non-profit, neutral, non-prejudiced and non-political organization that works to improve the lives of children and youth through education.
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.
KNGO registered as an official organization with the Ministry of Interior 29 January 2008. KNGO Australia is also registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACN 167 820 126).
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.
Our Activities
What We Need
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.
What We Provide
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 found in KNGO a very well-structured organisation, where every volunteer can share his best talent with the students.
Students were adorable and we could create a lovely bond with them very easily.
We left KNGO thinking that we have received far more than what we gave..
Volunteering for KNGO is a gift for the students who can learn a lot from this exchange but is especially gainful for yourself as you will return home far more enriched.
We hope to go back soon!
We highly recommend KNGO to everyone who is looking for an experience of teaching, volunteering, getting in touch with a different, wonderful culture and marvelous people."
Although the homestay option wasn't available when we were there, it was easy to find a guesthouse in nearby Battambung for our stay (bonus was that they had bikes for rent we could use to ride to KNGO). This was another special part of the experience, as we got to explore the city, meet local people, and try some delicious food.
If you're looking to volunteer, or even if you're just looking to travel, you should definitely go to KNGO for a rewarding and culturally-enriching experience! -Andrea & Robert Weiss"

Help out from Home
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."
