Volunteer now to help give Cambodian children a future
The mission of Pour un Sourire d'Enfant
For over 25 years, Pour un Sourire d'Enfant has been working in Cambodia to lift children out of extreme poverty and give them a skilled, dignified and well-paid job through a range of solutions tailored to their needs.
Becoming a volunteer for the children of Cambodia means contributing your desire to take action, your energy and your enthusiasm to raise awareness of Pour un Sourire d'Enfant, raise awareness of the work done for the children in the programmes and raise funds that are sent to the field to care for the children. Depending on your availability, find out how you can help the adventure continue, again and again, in a very simple and free way!
Who can become a volunteer at Pour un Sourire d'Enfant?
Everyone is welcome!
For over 25 years, one of the association's strengths has been its volunteer work. Informal at the very beginning, with the involvement of friends and family of Christian and Marie-France des Pallières, the founders of the association, it has gradually become structured and the activities have diversified.
Volunteering with Pour un Sourire d'Enfant means joining teams, feeling useful and having a real impact, as our volunteers can testify: ‘We get involved with motivated people who want to make a difference’, Laurent, PSE Nord.
Thanks to volunteering, we can take concrete action to help the poorest children in Cambodia. We receive funds while keeping our collection costs as low as possible!
Together, we can put a smile back on thousands of children's faces.
How can I become a volunteer?
You decide how you want to get involved! You can give a little or a lot of your time, on an occasional or regular basis. If you wish, you can also join a local volunteer association.

The missions of Pour un Sourire d'Enfant volunteers
Near you: running a fundraising project
We've created tools and support to help you carry out your project independently, with the help of your local branch or PSE head office. You'll have all the information you need on communication and financial aspects, the rules and good practice in force at PSE, and support in organising your project. The local offices and/or head office are available to discuss your project and help you, according to your needs.
Near you: support branches
You can become a volunteer in a support unit, a local group of volunteers who organise many and varied activities to promote the work of Pour un Sourire d'Enfant, raise awareness of children's causes and raise funds to continue the adventure. You can take on a role (treasurer, secretary, etc.) and/or contribute specific skills (communication, etc.).
In Cambodia: supporting local teams
Every year, Pour un Sourire d'Enfant welcomes a few volunteers to its school in Phnom Penh for a minimum of 6 months to support the local teams in missions that meet their needs.
