The vision of Chibodia e.V. is to provide a highly qualitative education to poor and orphaned children in Cambodia within a family-like environment. As in future also public grants will complement private donations to finance projects, a financial system became necessary to professionally account for expenditures following donor specific rules.

After careful testing of WINPACCS, decision makers at Chibodia e.V. are convinced to have found a solution that caters to all their key requirements. Especially the further developed WINPACCS online application, combining on- and offline data handling, impressed as a tailor-made solution for internationally active aid organisations.

Following an online training course for staff in Cambodia in April 2012, the WINPACCS modules are currently introduced in all projects.

Please find further information on Chibodia e.V. at www.chibodia.org.
