Self funded volunteering means the volunteer covers all cost. Costs will likely include; accommodation costs, flight costs, visa costs (1 month - $30, 6 months - $180, year -$280), general living / food and drink costs. However, rest assured that you will be given assistance with finding accommodation and acclimatisation to the local area in general. Your safety, security and happiness is of utmost importance to us. Where possible KHEN will cover project activity costs such as field visits for self funded volunteers.

The minimum placement period we ask for is 2 months, with a focus on the volunteer completing a specific project or assignment. The overall length of the placement is negotiable depending on the project / assignment. A typical project duration is 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. 

​We generally discourage voluntourism, which is defined as an opportunity that is geared more towards the volunteer than the organisation. Therefore with KHEN, you can be sure that what your are doing is legitimate and genuinely a worthwhile contribution to Cambodia, Cambodian children and all of KHEN's beneficiaries. This means that if KHEN does not require your services, we will tell you directly why this is so. 

From time to time vacancies may be listed here for specific skills / professional experience that we are looking for. Do not be discouraged if there are no vacancies listed in your line of work / skill set / expertise - please still contact us below and we will contact you when a vacancy arises​.
