A gift of a well keeps giving for years to come:
Two-thirds rural Cambodians do not have access to clean water. Many families have no alternative but to drink dirty water from scum-covered retaining ponds, or must carry water in plastic containers from rivers that are kilometers away. Children are traditionally the primary water carriers in the family, and often cannot attend school as it may take all day to carry water to their homes. Your gift of a well can change all of this.
When a well is installed in a community, the whole village is transformed. Health and hygiene are vastly improved. With a plentiful source of clean water, vegetable gardens, fishponds and livestock can come into the community, eliminating hunger and providing resources for economic development. And children can quickly gather water from the community well and still have time to attend school - becoming the foundation for a better Cambodia.
And it all starts with your gift of water.... |
