Announcement Description

Help The Old Age and Most Vulnerable Organization (HOM) is a non-governmental, non-profit, and non-political civil society organization established in 1999. HOM works in partnership with relevant stakeholders, including national and sub-national government institutions of the Royal Government of Cambodia, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society groups. Through building trust and mobilizing resources, HOM supports community development in Kampong Thom Province and other targeted areas in Cambodia.

HOM is currently receiving funding support from ActionAid Cambodia (AAC) to implement the project “Strengthening Agro-Environmental Livelihoods for Climate Resilience” for a period of one year. To support effective project implementation, HOM invites qualified applicants to apply for two (02) full-time positions: Finance Coordinator (01) and Program Officer (01).

Brief Donor and Project Background:

From 2009 to 2025, HOM received financial support from ActionAid Cambodia (AAC) to implement the Local Rights Program (LRP) in Kampong Thom Province. The LRP strengthened community capacity and raised awareness on women’s and children’s rights and environmental resilience, reaching approximately 1,200 households in Prey Kuy Commune, Kampong Kor Commune, Kampong Svay District, and Sakaryouv Sangkat, Stung Sen City, and collecting 1,000 children’s messages by the end of the program.

HOM is now implementing “Strengthening Agroecological Livelihoods for Climate Resilience”, which aims to equip communities to strengthen economic resilience through sustainable livelihood options, improve disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation at community level, and strengthen access to information and services—especially for women, children, and other vulnerable groups. The project targets 250 families to improve ecological agriculture practices for vegetable production and productivity, respond to market demand, and contribute to reducing vegetable imports from neighboring countries.
