Working for a better society….

Buddhism For Development is a national Cambodian NGO with approximately 150 Khmer staff operating in 7 provinces in the northwest of Cambodia and around the Tonle Sap lake districts.

BFD promotes human rights, educates for democratic and well governed communities, and ensures better health and education of rural Cambodians.

BFD Vision

BFD envisions an educated democratic society free from poverty and preventable illnesses, law abiding and respectful of human rights and the environment and a moral society with respect for Buddhism and Cambodian culture and traditions whilst being aware of the threats and opportunities presented by globalization.

BFD Mission

BFD encourages, advises and provides services and support to Cambodians to participate in the sustainable socio-economic development of their own communities.

BFD Philosophy

BFD projects are fully participatory and are designed to meet the needs of target groups. With the Dharma as a guide, the aim is to achieve harmony between the individual, society, and the environment. The projects focus on the economic, social, spiritual, physical and intellectual well-being of target groups and aid to guide them step by step towards self-reliance and empowerment.


 


Looming problems need urgent attention

Cambodia has a hugely youthful population (approx 70% of population is less than 30 years old, 50% less than 20 years old). Successful engagement of these young people in all aspects of society is critical for Cambodia’s future welfare. Projects linking youth especially rural youth, into formal education, governance, politics and local community development, and into ethical and moral frameworks that support community cohesion are very much needed. These and other new BFD project areas would welcome support from donors.
