CAMBODIA TRIP GUIDE

Raising Awareness Worldwiderawimpact.org

We’re a non-profit organisation Raising Awareness Worldwide for lasting social impact. Creating powerful change through sustainable projects in Cambodia.

We are an experience. We are a social movement. We are hands-on, engaging, proactive and personal. We invite you to play a real part in creating positive change.

In 2013, RAW Impact was founded to bring together a movement of people who would get hands-on in the fight against some of the greatest injustices in the world today. We believe if we can give the people of Cambodia a VOICE that is amplified through great media and online platforms, they will have the support to be empowered to change their own lives permanently!

We have a holistic approach to building safe and sustainable villages. This involves identifying key local partners in places with significant need and working with elders and leaders to empower families at a grass-roots level.
