How Your Company Can Start a CSR Program That Truly Makes a Difference

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is no longer optional—it’s a cornerstone of modern business. Companies that invest in meaningful CSR initiatives not only enhance their brand reputation but also create lasting social impact. OHF’s Volunteer Programme offers a structured, impactful way for businesses to engage in CSR by supporting underserved communities in Cambodia through hands-on projects like building houses, wells, and toilets.

Our CSR initiatives empower your staff in meaningful, hands-on  projects which increases motivation and appreciation that their company is helping the community and making hope real for the beneficiaries.

Step 1: Define Your CSR Goals

Align your CSR efforts with your company’s values by focusing on tangible outcomes. OHF’s programme targets:

  • Social Impact: Improve living conditions for rural communities. OHF’s 20 plus years of experience has a trove of practical and proven projects.
  • Employee Engagement: Foster teamwork and purpose through hands-on volunteering. OHF Cambodia staff are trained to assist volunteers  and guide them step by step.
  • Sustainability: Support infrastructure projects with long-term benefits. As OHF Cambodia is based locally, any defects can be rectified by OHF Cambodia.

Step 2: Engage Employees & Stakeholders

OHF’s Volunteer Programme is designed for teams of all sizes from corporations, organisations, or companies. Key features:

  • Team-Based Activities: Build houses, wells, or toilets while bonding with colleagues.
  • Professional Guidance: OHF’s on-ground staff ensures safety and provides training.
  • Flexible Options: Adjust activities for teams of all ages and skill levels.

Step 3: Develop a CSR Strategy & Budget

OHF’s transparent cost structure simplifies planning:

  • Team Donation: Minimum SGD 15,000 to fund projects (covers materials, labour, and audits).
  • In-Country Costs: Variable based on team size and duration (includes meals, accommodation, and transport).
  • Scalability: Larger teams reduce per-person costs.

Plan and coordinate strategy with OHF Singapore staff. We welcome long term programs as these can be effective in poverty alleviation.
