Established in 1992, HelpAge Cambodia (HAC) is a localized NGO that focuses on expanding and protecting the rights of older people across Cambodia. As the only organization working on older people rights, HAC worked with local, national, and international partners to fight ageism. Their vision, mission, and values motivate their team to create a sustainable and grassroots-led model for building and maintaining older people communities.
Launched in 2016, the Voice Programme sought to address systemic inequalities and ensure that marginalised communities are not left behind. Financed by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs and implemented by Oxfam Novib and Hivos, Voice operated in ten countries across Africa and Asia, supporting civil society organisations and rightsholders in their pursuit of equality, dignity, and inclusion. Over eight years, Voice allocated over €60 million in grants, funding 745 projects that empowered rightsholders and fostered inclusive change.
