Organization Summary

CFI is uniquely positioned to empower children and youth to break the cycle of poverty. Our holistic services provide basic needs support, prevent human trafficking, and grant access to education for some of the most resource-poor and vulnerable children in Cambodia. CFI serves hundreds of children and youth that were previously not attending school and at risk of human trafficking and child labor. CFI’s programs focus intently on ensuring that youth stay in school, attend higher education, and have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential and become positive role models, qualified professionals, and compassionate community leaders. CFI has an overall focus on reducing service dependency and increasing family resilience.

CFI is a close-knit team based in Ek Phnom, Battambang. The successful candidate would be required to be based here, although flexible working would be available, as required, as we respond to local COVID restrictions. We offer an appropriate local salary, healthcare benefits, and the opportunity to work with an incredible team who are motivated and skilled, ensuring we deliver first-class services to some of the most vulnerable families in this region.
