Welcome to TPO Cambodia
The Transcultural Psychosocial Organisation Cambodia (TPO Cambodia) was established in Cambodia in February 1995 as a branch of the Netherlands based NGO “TPO International”. After being registered in 2000 as independent local NGO, “TPO Cambodia” is today the leading Cambodian NGO in the field of mental health and psychosocial interventions. It is TPO’s mission “to support those who are unable to care for themselves due to mental illness, poverty and lack of support by developing programmes that directly benefit people at the grassroots level, by improving their mental health and thereby increase their ability to care for themselves and their families”.
Certificate of Compliance
The NGO Good Practice Project aims to promote professionalism and good practice in NGOs in Cambodia. On 23 September 2011, TPO and various other agencies were awarded the NGO Good Practice Certificates for meeting the standards in the Code of Ethical Principles and Minimum Standards for NGOs in Cambodia.
