Volunteer in Kampot, Cambodia


Southeast Asia, Travel and Photography
Cambodia is almost certainly the best place in Southeast Asia to be a volunteer. Hardly a day passes without another article about an opportunity to help, mostly in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but the need also extends to villages elsewhere, such as the sleepy port town of Kampot, pictured above.

Welcome to Kampot Interact

Want to volunteer or enjoy a unique cultural experience in Cambodia?Look no further than beautiful, laid back Kampot.

Kampot is a small, friendly town on the Tuk Chhou River south of Phnom Penh, 5km inland from the sea. Fishing and farming are the main activities.

Kampot offers a variety of volunteer opportunities that would welcome your support.

Kampot Interact, a self funded information centre helps to link visitors with local projects.

They include helping to teach English to local children and young adults, visit the local orphanage and much more.

Every 3-4 months, the Kampot Dar-laing newsletter is published with information and updates on volunteer projects, community enterprises and local cultural events.

There are also many tourist attractions and tours on offer in and around Kampot, including Bokor National Park, and nearby Rabbit Island. If you are interested in coming to Kampot and may have a few hours, days, or months to volunteer, we'd love to hear from you.
