Khmer Association For Development of Countryside (KAFDOC)

The Khmer Association for Development of Countryside (KAFDOC) is a Cambodian non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Orrusey II Village, Sankat Orrusey, Kratie Province. Founded on October 23, 1993, KAFDOC was officially registered with the Ministry of Interior on December 13, 1994. Initially, we operated in Prek Prasop, Chit Borey, Sambo districts, and Kratie Town, focusing on integrated rural development.

Our work prioritizes the empowerment of women, children, and youth who face economic hardship and social barriers. We envision a peaceful Cambodia where people are equipped with the skills and resources needed for self-reliance and an ever-improving quality of life.

KAFDOC collaborates with donors, NGOs, local authorities, and institutions to implement diverse programs. These include initiatives on education, economic empowerment, healthcare, agriculture, governance, disaster preparedness, child rights, and gender equality. Our main beneficiaries are vulnerable women, children, people with disabilities, farmer groups, and fishing communities in remote rural areas.

In addition to service delivery, KAFDOC strengthens the capacities of community-based organizations (CBOs) with a special focus on vulnerable groups. We work to enhance access to healthcare, promote sustainable natural resource management (NRM), improve livelihoods, and support disaster risk reduction (DRR).
