Heab lives with her family of six members, only one is male, in Kouk Ruessei village, Kaev Poar commune, in Puok district. They are actually quite lucky to live in a house made with wood walls, being they all survive on a $.50 per day income. However, Heab's family is too poor to own cows or oxen and a cart, or a motorbike, so the entire family shares the use of their single bicycle for transportation. They have no livestock like chickens or fish to augment their food securities and cannot grow enough rice to have extra in storage to get them through the dry season and until their next harvest.
As you can see here by her smile, Heab is very happy to receive a bio-sand water filter for her family and be able to give clean drinking water to her children. Now that they have potable water their health will improve which inevitably brings about a natural process of development.
Thank you for bringing clean safe drinking water to Heab and her family.
