Bring Safe Water to School Kids in Vietnam

Your donations have helped our partners in Vietnam to provide training workshops all over Thua Thien-Hue Province, and another round of workshops has been completed! 66 preschools teachers and at least 150 parents and community members were recently trained in rescue breathing, drowning and choking hazards, and other common community health concerns. The teachers and facilitators are very thankful for your continued support that changes lives every day in Vietnam! 

The teachers commented that they are very serious about the community health concerns being presented, and that the course material was clear and useful. They also commented,

"Facilitators are responsible team, good training method; prepare good teaching material and suitable to the participants. They also lead the class practically. The presentation is well designed, easyto understand so that the preschool teacher can use for their health education training program...The teachers also know why and how to keep the toilet clean, help children with personal hygiene ( apply the procedure for handwashing with soap, facial washing, bathing for the small children); Teachers were also trained how to prevent the GI diseases related to unsafe water and environment sanitation."

Summer is on it's way, and your donations will help our partners in Vietnam with the purchase and installation of safe water drinking sytems in many preschools and health clinics! Kids and their families will have access to safe water for drinking during the hot summer months and be able to stay healthy and hydrated. The water systems that MEDRIX and our partners have chosen meet the highest standards for the EPA, the World Health Organization and the health standards of the government of Vietnam. Projects like these wouldn't be possible without your support, and we sincerely thank you!
