What are the challenges?
- High levels of poverty in Cambodia make it difficult for volunteers to spend significant time undertaking unpaid work. To help motivate and maintain volunteers, CDMD pays a small per diem to cover transport costs and one meal for each day spent volunteering.
- While CDMD takes steps to actively involve people with disabilities in the implementation of the project, the majority of people with disabilities involved are visually impaired or have physical impairments. CDMD has specialist skills supporting the visually impaired, yet is focused on widening its reach to support people with a range of disabilities and high support needs.
