Buddhism For Developement

A Community Catalyst for Cambodia -

BFD works alongside Cambodian communities to facilitate development. Respecting the rights and aspirations of the people, BFD builds frameworks and trains community groups and individuals so that they can better govern themselves and find paths that will provide social cohesion and economic empowerment.

In a country re-building following over 30 years of devastation by wars and civil strife, with its population decimated by years of brutality and death under the Khmer Rouge regime, BFD’s long history of community development (almost two decades) has produced an excellent track record with a long list of achievements in democracy and human rights, local governance, economic improvement, education and health.

BFD has many friends who have supported its work, some for more than 15 years. BFD’s programs would not have been possible without the dedicated support of international and national, agencies, NGOs and many many individual friends.

BFD partners with donors and other NGOs to deliver projects and activities aimed at increasing capacity of communities to achieve self-reliance. There is a long list of beneficiaries for the work undertaken by BFD.
