Clean water for hundreds of villagers in Cambodia

It may be difficult for many of us to imagine life without water.  In the developed world we so often take for granted the ability to simply turn on the tap and have plentiful clean water for drinking, cooking and cleaning.

In the developing world, access to water is a different matter.  Sources of water can be long distances from ones home, and then unsafe to drink without filtering. Can you imagine having to walk miles from your home for a bucket of filthy water like in the photos?  What would you do if this water was your only choice to give to your family, your children?  It will make them sick, but they need water to live.

Bio-sand water filters remove harmful Ecoli, viruses, parasites, and turbity from these types of source water.  After filtration the water is clear and clean.  Safe for families and their children to consume.  Eliminating disease and improving lives.  Children are able to attend school.  Adults are able to work and support their families.

Trailblazer Foundation is happy to report that we raised the funding needed to supply 70 families who wanted a water filter in our past campaign.  There will now be up to 350, or more, villagers with access to potable water.  Life's basic need to survive and prosper.  One donor supplied enough funding to complete one entire village.  While many other donors contributed to the cause and helped us reach our goal and beyond.

Trailblazer staff have been busy installing these 70 filters in the villages of Kok Kad and Kbal Krapeu.  The recipient families are so grateful to now have clean drinking water.

Thanks to everyone who made this project a great success, and who we hope will continue to help bring clean water and hope of a better life to more rural families in Cambodia.
