Up to 4 out of 10 schools and healthcare facilities lack basic water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in many parts of the developing world.
You can change this.
You already did change this for over 1,000 people in Taek Village in Siem Reap, Cambodia through the installation of an AquaTower and Planet Water’s hygiene education program at Taek Primary School.
Here is how the Leader of the School Support Committee describes the impact YOU have made, “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 Aqua Tower installed here is so helpful to everyone. Students now drink safe water, improve their class attendance and positively impact to their studying.”
For the children at Taek Primary School, having access to clean, safe water for the first time means a healthier future, improved education and more happiness.
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!
