Voice Cambodia

What Voice Cambodia does

Voice Cambodia (legally VOICE INC) is a registered nonprofit charitable organisation founded in 2013 that delivers direct humanitarian assistance to marginalised and disempowered people in Cambodia. The organisation operates a community centre in Phnom Penh where case managers — including Keo Chenda, who has held the role since August 2015 — apply a strength-based, listen-then-empower methodology to help clients access food, shelter, healthcare, education, safety, and sustainable livelihoods. Funding flows come from tax-deductible donations in Australia (with charitable status from the Australian Taxation Office and registration with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission) and from product sales routed through the Coco Khmer social enterprise; the Australian head office is in Brisbane (contact: [email protected]) while in-country service delivery runs through VOICE CAMBODIA ORGANIZATION.

The Coco Khmer product line is Voice's second commercial pillar and is the most tangible technology platform in the business. Products are handmade in Cambodia from cold-pressed virgin coconut oil purchased from Cambodian small-shareholder farmers, and the portfolio includes Body & Foot Scrubs in three variants (Coffee, Coconut Lime Ginger, Citrus) at A$14.95–A$24.95, Body Balms, Baby Bliss Balms, After-Shave Balms, and the Naga Balm at A$5.95–A$25.95, plus Lipbalm sticks and tins at A$4.95–A$5.95 and a limited-edition Mother's Day Gift Pack at A$50. All SKUs are formulated without SLS, SLES, parabens, synthetic fragrances, animal derivatives, EDTA, mineral oils, or trethanolamine, and source additional ingredients from Cambodian highlands coffee, Kampot sea-salt, and organic Cambodian palm sugar. Distribution is e-commerce led via voice.org.au, with domestic Australian shipping rates from A$9 to A$30 and international shipping from A$20 to New Zealand, Asia, US & Canada, and Great Britain & Ireland. 100% of product profits are directed to crisis-support programming.

Voice's primary beneficiaries include victims of domestic violence, families affected by Thalassaemia Major (over 30 blood donation cards needed monthly for transfusions), undocumented children requiring school-enrolment support, and individuals at risk of predatory lending. Distribution channels combine direct community-centre engagement in Phnom Penh, donor-processing in both Australia and Cambodia, blood-donor facilitation through the National Blood Transfusion Centre, and partnerships with Cambodia Thalassemia Association, Coco Khmer, Krama Yoga, Nataraj yoga studio, and Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital. The organisation supplements paid staffing with skilled volunteer engagement (business advisors, graphic designers, digital film makers) and runs fundraising campaigns including the documented 'Eat a Spider for VOICE' challenge that raised over A$1,775.
