Vong and his wife Doung have three young children. The water they currently have access to is not secure, suitable or safe for drinking.
Roun Village in Banteay Meanchey Province, Cambodia is home to approximately 270 families. They have access to a nearby muddy pond that a wealthy landowner built for his workers (50 of whom live in village) however this access is neither secure nor does it provide clean enough water for drinking.
Vong (pictured), his wife Doung and their 3 young children live in Roun village. They have half a hectare of land on which they farm rice, this only provides just enough to live on and they're not able to afford to send their children to school. It is currently impossible for them to get access to secure and safe drinking water.
For $1,480 we can build two hand dug wells to provide clean water for Vong's family and the rest of Roun Village.
