🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be accommodated in shared housing located in Kampot, Kampong Speu, Siem Reap, or Battambang, depending on their project placement. Each volunteer house offers basic but comfortable amenities, including shared bedrooms, clean bathrooms, communal dining and kitchen areas, and access to electricity and Wi-Fi (where available). The housing is situated close to project sites or within local communities, allowing volunteers to experience authentic Cambodian daily life. Living together with fellow volunteers also fosters cultural exchange, teamwork, and meaningful connections throughout the program. While simple, the accommodations are safe, welcoming, and well-suited to support volunteers during their service experience.
