Board of Directors
Rofich Yeb
Board Chairman
I became involved with Damnok Toek through Goutte d’Eau- A Child Support Network (GEcsn), where I worked in various positions, including Educator, Social Worker, and bookkeeper between 1999 and 2003. From 2003 to 2010 I was the Disability Project Coordinator in Phnom Penh and I have been on the Damnok Toek (DT) board since 2012. I am strongly committed to DT’s work and am pleased to continue to contribute to DT as the Chairman of the Board.
Arifin Sop
Independent Business Advisor
I began working with GEcsn/DT in the early days of the organisation as a social worker in both Neak Loeung and Poi Pet. My passion for DT’s work motivated me to serve on the Board of Directors. My work experience allows me to contribute to the stabilisation of funding to ensure the sustainable development of DT’s work.
Phanna Hun
Executive Director – Cambodian Women’s Development Association (CWDA)
I became a DT board member in 2020 and want to use my work experiences gained from other local associations/NGOs to contribute to strengthening DT’s various policies and strategic plans that contribute to social development for the benefit of children, and alleviate the suffering of children, especially children with disabilities and their families in Cambodia.
Bunthek Thai
Digital Skills & Vocational Training Manager – Friends International
As a parent of a teenage daughter with severe intellectual disabilities, I am passionate about DT’s work, especially projects that help children and youth with disabilities and their families achieve their goals. My personal experience as a parent, as well as my work experience in project development, the execution of training programmes, and strategic development bring valuable insights to DT’s Board.
Christoph Jakob
Senior Advisor – Social and Economic Development
My motivation, as one of Goutte d’eau and Damnok Toek’s founding members, is to support the organisation’s development and make sure it continues to adapt its programs to the needs of the beneficiaries while responding to the challenges posed by the current global context.
Cristina Masso
Senior Philanthropy Manager, Compassion – World Farming International
I was a Technical Advisor for DT in 2011 and I have remained engaged and involved ever since. As Board member, I am looking forward to contributing to the continuity of the relevant work that DT does for vulnerable children and their families in Cambodia, especially very discriminated groups such as children and young adults with disabilities. I also wish to contribute my knowledge and expertise on fundraising, philanthropy and child protection to strengthen these areas and ensure they remain relevant to international trends and standards.
Reaksmey Neou
Programme Associate – FAO
As a mother of a child with autism, I am fully aware of the struggles and strains faced by families with children with disabilities. Professionally, I have worked in development and environmental protection for over ten years. As a DT board member, I hope to use my personal and professional experiences to help children with disabilities and vulnerable children and their families, so they do not face discrimination or social exclusion.
Megan Clavier
Freelance Consultant
I joined the Damnok Toek Board because I believe deeply in the important work that DT is doing for Cambodia. From child protection to disability, DT is working to protect and improve the lives of so many vulnerable Cambodians. I aim to use my experience and technical skills to support Damnok Toek to continue as a leader in providing care and reducing the stigma of disability throughout Cambodia, as well as supporting and protecting children and those most in need.
Savoeung Chann
Financial Inclusion and Impact Investment Lead – Care Australia
My personal experience as an orphan with polio is the driving force behind my connection with DT. My triumphs over adversity motivate me to empower children, especially those with disabilities. I have over two decades of leadership experience in the financial and private sectors and have steered organisations in Cambodia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. I bring leadership, strategy, corporate governance, and innovation skills to help drive DT’s institutional growth and transformation.
