OUR TEAM
Behind every project is a Cambodian team that lives and works in the communities we serve - from our office in Phnom Penh to two field offices in Kampot Province, in Angkor Chey and Traeuy Koah.
We lead with compassion, listen first, and build the trust that makes healing and change possible.
MR. TIM Minea
Executive director
Mr. Tim Minea earned a BA in Sociology from the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) in 2004 and a Pedagogy Certificate from the National Institute of Education in 2005, followed by a Master's in Sociology and Anthropology from RUPP in 2012. He joined Kdei Karuna in 2009, helping the organization establish its local roots, and since then serves as Executive Director. Minea stays close to KdK's communities, working with the team to create safe spaces for dialogue and takes part in conferences and trainings internationally, so that KdK both contributes to and learns from the wider transitional justice community. In 2023, the UN Office on Genocide Prevention in New York named Minea a Champion of Prevention (Raphael Lemkin Champion), in recognition of over a decade of work creating safe spaces for survivors and younger generations to confront the past and help prevent future atrocities.
