Community Translation Organisation

WHO ARE WE?

Community Translation Organization (CTO) is a not for profit, non-government organization empowering rural communities in Cambodia by creating sustainable livelihoods to eradicate poverty and by promoting mutual aid and community work.

Rural families in Cambodia lack access to clean water to drink and produce rice and vegetables, education to make quality goods to sell in the market, and infrastructure for household electricity. 

We focus on building a Civil democratic community based organization (CBO’s) such as SHG, VSLA, Farmer Cooperative and other women based or led grassroot groups to promote their social and economical rights. and building their capacity, so that thsese CBO’s can work as representatives of the members and as defenders of the most vulnerqble pepole (women, ethnic minorities). 

We believe that the most vulnerable people can work to improve their social and economical status when they are given practical knowledge, skills, and needed tools. Then CTO is working to translate their obtained knowledge, skills into actions, we call it empowerment. 

Translation Awareness Into Action, that is how we got our name « Community Translation » .

Make a donation. CTO provides global aid to Cambodia’s poorest communities, funded by official donors through partnerships. As an individual, making a donation means bringing individual help directly to a particularly poor family or child.
