Who We Are
Enriching Community Development Cambodia Org (ECDC) is a local non-government organization (LNGO), originated and established out of an international non-government organization (INGO) Empowering Cambodia Inc. (EC). EC’s directors, Patrick and Carol Kelly, together with their team of passionate local nationals, have served the local communities for 20 years+ and are well respected by government authorities in regard to effective and efficient community development programs, liaisons, and synergy, as they work together within the communities at a grass roots level.
The ECDC team continues with the mission and vision of EC, with a heart to equip, empower and enrich the lives of the Cambodian people they engage with by providing long term solutions through the provision of quality development projects. In the words of John F. Kennedy … ‘One person can make a difference and everyone should try’.
Projects of the community development program include:- ~ Water and Sanitation Hygiene (WASH) ~ Economic Development ~ Informal Education. The projects are purposely initiated as a result of research conducted within a community.
The sole aim is to provide strategically designed activities that address the needs established during the research period, that improve the lives of those living in the community, thus improving various aspects of the local community, as a whole. Program beneficiaries bring with them a number of issues associated with living in poverty. Beneficiaries partaking in the various sectors of the community development program benefit from the projects which are based upon solid foundations, including articles of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and The Charter of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child, (ratified by the Royal Cambodian Government), and including the Psychological Rights of the Child (1979), as well as a number of the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our MISSION is to provide long term solutions through provision of quality development projects as we serve the poor with hearts filled with love and compassion. These projects are:
