With funding from the Asian Community Fund at the Boston Foundation and the Asian Business Empowerment Council, CMAA started an Asian Small Business Assistance Initiative. Additionally, we partner with the Entrepreneurship Center at Community Teamwork, Inc. (CTI) to provide workshops in Khmer to new/start-up businesses in Lowell. ← Special Projects Energy Efficiency Initiative CMAA started a new energy efficiency initiative working with the City of Lowell , the Community First Partnership (Mass Save) , Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) and UMass Lowell’s RIST Institute for Sustainability and Energy . Our partnership with Mass Save brings energy savings benefits to all residents, landlords, renters, and small businesses. Mass Save provides eligible households with cost savings on their home energy consumption. A second component of our Initiative is to recruit and train energy ambassadors within the Cambodian community. Energy ambassadors help promote energy usage savings through social diffusion activities, such as educating residents about available energy savings programs and sharing their energy savings experiences with their network of friends. The energy ambassadors meet once a month to update their activities and receive support from the CMAA project team. Energy ambassadors and participants in the project earn incentives through their active participation. Monthly Ambassador Meetings will take place every last Saturday of the month from 10-11:30AM at the CMAA Office. Save money and energy while helping your community!

Khmer Language Services The CMAA team is here to help. We provide professional Khmer to English and English to Khmer translation services for a variety of documents and projects. Contact us today for more information! Do you serve clients who speak Khmer? If your business is located in the greater Lowell area, Boston, Lexington, Peabody, Waltham, Lynn, or Fall River, it’s likely that you do. Serving these clients is challenging, as linguistic and cultural barriers can hinder effective communication between you and your clients. At Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association (CMAA), we have over 39 years of experience in delivering effective, culturally, and linguistically appropriate services to the Southeast Asian community. We are expanding our services to include affordable and culturally sensitive interpretation and translation services in Khmer. Our interpreters are highly skilled in communication that involves complex language, body systems, and concepts/procedures of Western biomedicine. And by choosing a CMAA interpreter, you are supporting a community-based non-profit organization. Our interpreters are certified in the Bridging the Gap (BTG) Interpreter Training Program by the Cross Cultural Health Care Program – the organization established in 1992 in Seattle, WA in response to concerns from ethnic minority communities about the lack of culturally appropriate health care services.
