Core offering

Trailblazer Cambodia Organization (TCO) is a non-governmental, non-profit that designs and implements community-based development programs in rural Cambodia, including sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, rice field fisheries enhancement, natural resource management, water sanitation and hygiene (WASH), livelihood improvement, and a women-empowerment social enterprise that produces recycled soap. Programs are delivered through field facilitators and funded by donations and grants from international development partners; the organization also accepts donations via bank transfer.

Product overview

Trailblazer Cambodia Organization (TCO) is a non-profit NGO that operates multiple community development programs rather than a single unified product. Its portfolio includes social enterprise programs (soap manufacturing through Women Empowerment), aquaculture and fisheries programs (Small Fish for Children's Health, Fish Value Chain Development, Rice Field Fisheries Enhancement), environmental programs (Natural Resource Management), and public health initiatives (Water Sanitation and Hygiene). These programs work together to address rural poverty through sustainable livelihoods, food security, and community empowerment in Siem Reap and Kampong Thom provinces.
