Dear Richard,

Seelar is 34 years old, and has 2 children. She lives with her family in Phonsahart Village, in Southern Laos. The members of her family work as farmers so she helps out in the fields at planting and harvest time, but her regular job is at the Governments office in town.

Normally her and her family drink water by the bottle but this can be very expensive. Thanks to your generosity she is able to use her water filter and stand to create clean, safe drinking water for free!

Dear Frederic,

Viengsavan has 4 children and lives together with her family in Phonsahart Village in southern Laos. She owns a small shop selling goods at the local market.

Usually she has to draw water from the village well and take it home, then boil it and wait for it to cool before she can drink it. The only other option would be to buy bottled water, which is just too expensive.

Thanks to your generous donation of a water filter and stand, Viengsavan now has access to clean, safe and affordable drinking water. Thank you Frederic!

Dear Cathleen,

Mea Bua is 42 years old. She is a widow and has 4 children. She lives in Kham Geo village in Laos. Previously she had to buy expensive bottled water to meet her drinking water needs, because, like most Laoatians she does not have access to clean drinking water. Thank you Cathleen for your sustainable gift of clean water that will keep her and her children safe!

Dear CynDee,

Wanna is 42 years old. She has 7 people in her household. They live in Kham Geo village in Laos.  She supports her family by running a small shop that sells goods in a Lao market.

Wanna and her family had to buy about 20 liters of expensive bottled water per day for their family. Your gift of clean water has helped make it possible for Wanna and her family to drink clean water in an affordable and sustainable manner!  Thank you CynDee!

Dear Joshua,

Arye Ngon is 40 years old and has 4 children. They live together in Nagaisear Village in Laos. They are rice farmers.

Before your generous donation, they drank expensive bottled drinking water, as their options for clean drinking water were limited. Now their family will use the water filter in this picture to make clean water for the whole family to drink.

Thanks Joshua for keeping this family safe from waterborne diseases!

Dear Michael,

Mr. Somphan is the village headman in the village of Tharn in Laos. He is 45 and has 11 people in his family. He has been a rice farmer for many years.

His normal water source is the village well, but this needs to be treated or boiled before drinking to prevent sickness.

Thanks to your generosity, Mr. Somphan and his large family can now use their water filter to create clean, safe drinking water!

Dear Kieran,

Miss Chanhorm is 50 years old and lives with her husband and child in Haadkham village in Laos. Like most Lao people, Miss Chanhorm is a farmer. Usually she drinks bottled water to save the time and labour needed to boil water and wait for it to cool, but this is getting too expensive.

Thanks to Kieran, she can use her water filter to make clean, safe drinking water without the added expense!  Thanks for your support of Miss Chanhorm and Lao Water Resources.
