The Organisation:

The Australian Aid For Cambodia Fund (AACF) is a non-profit overseas aid organisation, staffed by volunteers, with Head Office in Sydney. Primarily funded from donations within Australia, AACF's accounts are independently audited and can be viewed online in the AACF Index of Reports. It is a registered trust fund which was established in 1991 as the overseas wing of the Maharishi Global Administration Through Natural Law Ltd (MGANL). MGANL is an educational organisation registered as a not-for-profit company. It offers programmes based on the teaching of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Cambodia is recovering from 25 years of fighting, in which most of its infrastructure and many lives were lost in civil war. Rural Cambodia is one of the poorest regions in the world and educational opportunities are limited. Cambodia is in desperate need of assistance in the reconstruction of the nation. Economic growth can be achieved through the provision of skills and resources.

AACF's major program is the provision of higher education for rural youth. AACF has built, equipped and funds a university in rural Cambodia in the eastern province of Prey Veng near the border of Vietnam. AACF also conducts rural development and institutional strengthening programs.
