Families in need. Toeuk village, Khnat commune, Pouk District, Siem Reap Province.

Families in need

There are many families that we have completed our assessment with and are awaiting a clean well. Explore the page and meet some of the families and villages who are waiting for your help. During the assessment process we look at several aspects of the families and their situations. Our first step in any area is to work with the local Chief of the Village to establish who has the greatest need. We will then meet with the family, review their situation and explain our expectations. Unfortunately there are more families in need than we can help so the decision on whom to help is a difficult one which is why we involve the local administration to assist us. We ask that each recipient not only take care of the well and equipment but also that it is intended to be communal and shared with their neighbors. It does not matter if the well is located close to their home or not. We would like to point out that there has never been a problem with sharing, the Cambodian culture is one of communal effort and if one person has something they are always willing to share.The short and long term care of the well is also communal and the family or village is made aware that they'll be completely responsible for the well after 6 years.

This family of two is looking forward to receiving a well in the near future. Mother (Widow), have experienced some sickness due to dirty water and the older children have missed some school days. The family would benefit greatly from the receipt of a Filter, Cistern, Seeds and Farming Tools would be very helpful for the long term health, economic, farming and transportation the children of the family. The family has a little less than one hectare to farm but is able to grow enough rice for the family. The added benefit of having a well for irrigating a vegetable garden would give the family a more balanced diet and possibly create a surplus to sell at market.
