........for visiting our website, we hope that you will find it informative and that, when you visit Phnom Penh, you might be tempted to take a trip in one of our cyclos, which are Clean, Green and great for Sight Seein'! How the Centre began and developed Over ten years ago a survey of Phnom Penh pedicab drivers, conducted by the Urban Resource Centre, lead to the establishment of a centre for cyclo drivers, which provided washing facilities, medical care and opportunities to learn a variety of skills. Initial funding came from a sponsored cycle ride, organized by Cambodian and foreign volunteers, and thereafter a number of individuals and organizations assisted in meeting running costs. In 2003 the Centre moved to premises in Street 158. However, these were vacated in early 2010 following a reorganisation and the Centre does not now have permanent facilities in central Phnom Penh, although it continues to operate. In August 2005 the Centre, now officially called the Cyclo Centre Phnom Penh, became an independent Cambodian Non-Government Organisation (NGO), registered with the Ministry of the Interior. At the moment the Centre is being run by Ms Pal Holly, who has been employed as the the Centre's Administrator and Accountant for many years. She remains closely in touch with Ms Nouv Sarany and Mr Im Sambat.
