Good Neighbours is an international development NGO Founded in 1991 for the purpose of reducing poverty in the most disadvantaged communities. Good Neighbours implements projects to protect child rights, strengthen global partnerships, and advocate for the rights of the most vulnerable across the globe.

We’ve been operating in Australia since 2018 and are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC). We work with governments, corporates, community leaders and children such as Multicultural NSW, Korean food company Nongshim, as well as communities in Vietnam, Cambodia and Mozambique.

We’re a relatively young humanitarian charity in Australia, but part of a large multinational network with over 190 projects in 39 different countries, and more than 211,572 sponsored children around the world.

We are currently supporting projects in Cambodia to bring fresh water, sanitation, and hygiene practices to regional and remote schools. Our research has shown that 70% of schools don’t have functioning toilets, 60% don’t have hand washing facilities and 55% don’t have access to sufficient water resources (wells, ponds, or rivers). Your role will assist making a change to these vulnerable communities
