Thanks to our local partner Samaritan's Purse Canada, support from the surrounding community, and your generosity, 86 people in Cambodia have access to clean and safe water!
You helped fund a water filter(s) for a community in Cambodia, implemented by our local partner Samaritan's Purse Canada. We rely on the expertise of local partners like Samaritan's Purse Canada to choose the best solution for each unique situation. In this case, Samaritan's Purse Canada’s thorough understanding of how to implement effective, sustainable water projects in their area led them to choose a water filter(s).
Water filters remove harmful contaminants from source water, making it much safer to drink. Our partners take a number of different variables into account when selecting the right solution for a community, and when water filtration is selected as the best solution, they often implement BioSand Filters or Ultrafiltration systems. BioSand Filters are made from layers of sand, gravel, and a biological layer called “biofilm.” When cared for properly, they can last up to 30 years. Ultrafiltration systems utilize a booster pump, strainer, carbon filter, and ultrafiltration membrane to remove 99.99% of bacteria and viruses.
Along with implementing water projects, our local partners also facilitate sanitation and hygiene initiatives to help promote everyone’s long-term health. These initiatives are often championed by community members themselves, who work hard to create positive change within their community.
Clean water means education, income, and health—especially for women and girls. It truly changes everything. Thank you for funding clean water and transforming futures for 86 people in Cambodia!
We publish a project when we've approved a final report from our partners and made sure your project is working for the best of the community.
These are the GPS coordinates of your project, plotted in Google Maps. A GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinate is the exact latitude and longitude of any given point on the Earth’s surface. charity: water uses GPS coordinates to record the location of each water project we fund. Please note: there are many of different formats for GPS. We use degree decimal format.
This is the population of the community that has access to your water project.
This is the cost of the water project you funded. Costs vary by country and by project type, and depend on a wide range of variables such as the local cost of fuel and cement at the time your project was built. This project’s cost includes any hygiene training or community maintenance models for the project’s sustainability.
charity: water works with partners in the field to build and implement water projects. Our partners have years of experience. They know the land, the people, the culture and the most appropriate water technology for each area of work. They report this data from the field to help us provide proof of your completed project(s).
This ID is how we track your project in our system.
