Background

Khmer Women’s Cooperation for Development (KWCD) is a local Cambodian Non-Governmental

Organization which began in August 1997, gaining official registration with the Ministry of Interior in

1998. KWCD was established by two Cambodian women and one man who all had a background

and experience in health. Currently KWCD has a head office in Phnom Penh and there are three

other sub-offices in Sihanouk Ville, Takeo and Kampot province.

KWCD’s main goal is to contribute to poverty reduction, promote the rights of vulnerable groups

and to improve the quality of health care in Cambodia.
