Mr Kong is 31 years old, he has 4 children and lives with his wife and kids in Maiphosi village, Thakaek district, Kammouane province, Laos. Like many other Lao people, they live in a simple house and are rice subsistence farmers. Daily they take water from the village well to drink, but do not have any filters. Thanks to you Neil, they can now use their water filter to clean the well water before consuming.

Dear Valerie,

Mr. Sisupan  is 52 years old. He lives with his wife, grandmother and 5 children in Kaengyang Village in Laos. He and his family are sticky rice farmers. Their current water source is a local well. They often boil the water before consuming, but also they drink it raw sometimes. Now they are able to save resources and time by using a ceramic filter! Thank you, Valerie for giving them the opportunity of improved livelihood!

Dear Digvijay,

Toontha is a village headman. He lives with his family in Kogsang Village in Laos. He is 38 years old and is a rice farmer. Before your donation, the options for purifiying water were few and labourious. Now he can use his water filter easily and for free, keeping him and his family safe from waterborne illnesses. Thank you Digvijay for your generosity!

Dear Digvijay,

Your gift has created a sustainable clean water source for Mrs. Loamphai and her family! Mrs Loamphai is 28 years old and is married with 6 children.

She and her family live with her parents, meaning there are a total of 10 people in her household! Mrs. Loamphai and her family all live in Na Tan village in Laos. She farms sticky rice and grows vegetables for a living.

Mrs. Loamphai used to drink water directly from her shallow well. Sometimes she would boil water or buy expensive pre-treated water bottles, depending on her family’s needs and abilities. Now she has a high quality ceramic water purifier to effectively treat water borne disease.

Thank you for your generosity!

Mr. Bounma is 59 years old.  He lives with his wife and six children in KhamKigai village in Tha Kaek District of Khammouan province.  Mr. Bounma is a sticky rice farmer in the lowlands near the Mekong River on the border of Thailand.

Mr. Bounma’s family have treated their water by boiling, but more recently have relied on expensive bottle water purchases.  Now with the ceramic water purifier, Bounma’s family has a sustainable source of cheap clean drinking water.

Thank you Nicole!
