Water Management Consultant – Flood Management and Irrigation

Announcement Description

Damnok Toek (DT) is a Cambodian non-profit working in disability inclusion, education, safe migration, and child protection. In Kep province, DT runs a farm where persons with intellectual disabilities work and develop vocational skills. The farm currently operates as a social business producing tea, vegetables, and poultry across approximately two hectares, and is scheduled to open part of its grounds to the public from January 2027, with animals, a shop, and visitor areas.

Water is the farm's main production constraint in both seasons. In the rainy season, drainage is inadequate and flooding damages crops; previous water infrastructure investments have been lost to it. In the dry season, the farm relies on a water tower and two ponds, with no irrigation system in place, and cannot produce at capacity.
