Reason for Building Clean Drinking Water Filtration Systems
As we know, water is life. Most schools in Cambodia do not have safe, clean drinking water for pupils during the school day. While some schools have ground wells or ponds where water is used for both cooking and drinking, most of these water sources contain high amounts of iron and arsenic poison. Long term use of the water from those unclean wells can cause various diseases such as typhoid fever and skin irritations. In addition, most children do not drink as much water as the body needs resulting in many health complications. In order to improve the general health for students and communities, we’re working toward offering two more clean water filtration systems to our communities. Each of these systems will serve water to more than 300 pupils and their families. Clean water will benefit the community’s general health as well as create better futures for children and families living in the poorest areas. A clean drinking water system is between $8500 and $9000 depending on well drilling. If interested in supporting our clean water project, you can email [email protected]. |
