KAD, Khmer Association for Development, was established and officially accredited by the Council of Minister on April 19, 1999 and registered with the Ministry of Interior of the Kingdom of Cambodia on November 02, 2004, is a non-governmental, independent, neutral, non-racial and non-political organization. It is the developmental and humanitarian organization.
Vision
Our vision is that if there isn't participation from the civil society, especially a national non-governmental organization, national rehabilitation and poverty alleviation will not be well underway. So the role of civil society, especially the national non-governmental organization will be needed for the national reconstruction. On the other hand, dependence on the sole external support is not good for a long-term development. So self-help can keep the work sustainable.
Goal
In order to participate in helping the community and national society, KAD has two goals as follows:
| 1- |
 To enable Cambodian people to administer and perform their work themselves because nobody knows more about their needs than they do. Anyway, we will not be able to help provide the people with everything they need. We can only supply them with basic needs and besides those, we can help them according to the circumstance and where possible except the long term technical support that we can deliver. |
|
| 2- |
 To participate in economic and social redevelopment, boosting peace, building solidary and friendly environment and helping each other in the name of the one nation of Cambodia. |
|
Objectives
KAD has its certain objectives as follows:
| 1- |
To help improve the livelihood of the poor people and communities through providing skills, professions and techniques leading to income-generating opportunity, non-formal education, vocational training, education on social laws, health care, agriculture, environment, credit and other community development projects. |
| 2- |
To promote democracy, respect for human rights, electoral justice and assist in national society redevelopment like other developed countries. |
Missions
According to the above-mentioned views, in order to attain its goals and objectives, KAD will have to carry out four missions as follows:
| 1- |
To provide the technical and human resource development. |
| 2- |
To do the community based project implementation. |
| 3- |
To rescue the vulnerable people. |
| 4- |
To promote the respect for the human rights and democracy.
