About CFS

Cambodia Family Support (CFS) is a registered Cambodian non-profit organisation, founded in 2008.

The organisation is run by Cambodians for Cambodians. It works among the rural poor in Battambang province, and more recently, Pailin province, using a holistic approach to poverty reduction.

Volunteers in Australia and the USA help raise awareness and funding, and provide some technical assistance..
