Bring Clean Water & Education to 2,000 in Cambodia

You CAN, and DID, make a difference...

No one should have to:

• Drink from a river, lake, or stream
• Spend their day collecting water instead of getting an education
• Suffer from easily preventable waterborne illness
• Miss school due to chronic diarrhea caused by drinking unsafe water
• Lack access to clean, safe water

You can change this. You already did change this for over 1,000 people in Taek Village in Siem Reap, Cambodia! While recently visiting Taek Village, it was clear to see the transformation that has taken place over the last 16 months since the AquaTower has been deployed. It was great to see the students running to the AquaTower – some to fill their water bottles, and others to wash their hands.  As the school was dismissing for the day, you could see the parents carrying in their jugs to fill with clean, safe water to bring home to their families. For those living in Taek Village, having access to clean, safe water for the first time means that over 1,000 children and their families have hope and opportunity for a healthier future.

“Before, only 35% of local residents had access to safe water. The other people drank untreated water sources that they think is clean when it is clear. Some wells and ponds are not year-round water sources due to drought, therefore, people were forced to seek other water sources from long distant travelling. Having the AquaTower installed here is so helpful to everyone. Students now drink safe water, improve their class attendance and positively impact to their studying.”
– Leader of the School Support Committee

Thank you - YOU have made a difference in the lives of those in need. Please continue to give the gift of water – and spread the word – because together, we can continue to abolish water poverty…one community at a time!
