We’re a non-profit organisation Raising Awareness Worldwide for lasting social impact. Creating powerful change through sustainable projects in Cambodia.
We are an experience. We are a social movement. We are hands-on, engaging, proactive and personal. We invite you to play a real part in creating positive change.
In 2013, RAW Impact was founded to bring together a movement of people who would get hands-on in the fight against some of the greatest injustices in the world today. We believe if we can give the people of Cambodia a VOICE that is amplified through great media and online platforms, they will have the support to be empowered to change their own lives permanently!
YOU CAN PLAY A PART
We believe there are many out there with time, talent and means of support who really want to get involved in something bigger, something that will make a real di!erence for a lifetime. Join us!
