From 1986, Sipar began working directly with refugees in camps along the Thai-Cambodian border, developing educational activities. In 1991, following the return of refugees to Cambodia, Sipar established its operations in the country at the request of the Cambodian Ministry of Education. For more than 40 years, Sipar has worked in Cambodia to promote reading, access to books and quality non-formal education, particularly for children, young people and communities with limited access to educational resources. Today, Sipar works across Cambodia through mobile libraries, school and community libraries, literacy and reading activities, youth empowerment and career guidance, and education programmes in prisons. Its mobile libraries reach remote and underserved communities, from rural areas in Ratanakiri to floating communities on the Tonle Sap and brick factory communities around Phnom Penh. Sipar also works with rural secondary school students through libraries, career guidance, life-skills and youth empowerment activities, and brings books and learning opportunities into Cambodia's prisons. Publishing has been part of Sipar's work since 2000, when the organisation launched a publishing programme to develop quality books in Khmer. In 2023, this activity became a separate commercial entity, Sipar Publishing, while remaining part of the Sipar family and continuing to develop and distribute books for children and young readers in Cambodia Announcement Positions Communication Assistant Apply Now WORKPLACE CIRCUMSTANCES ENVIRONMENT: Office LANGUAGES: English, Khmer LOCATION: Phnom Penh POSITION CIRCUMSTANCES CAREER CATEGORY: Communications, Assistant, Media SCHEDULE: Full-time SALARY: $400
