In December, 2013, May & Tony Barry (Melbourne, Australia), has supported the FWEC through Maria (Fundraising Coordinator), by contributing the funds for a water well for helping the poor people in a rural of Siem Reap.  The well is built on the own property of a family and they share the water with the other families around. Thank you so much for your generosity to help the poor people of Cambodia in rural around Siem Reap. 

Clean water is one of the most basic needs for survival. Although most of Cambodia has plenty of water, what is available to the majority of families is either natural surface water, or water made available in shallow, hand dug, Pit Wells. Both of these sources are filled with mud, insects, and disease, and covered over by enven dirtier water druing the yearly floods. Having clean water from a reliable source not only allows families to have water for cooking and drinking but also allows for bathing and laundry, all of which reduces the causes of disease and illness. In addition to better health and hygiene, the families will have the opportunity to plant an additional crop that does not rely on seasonal flooding for irrigation. This additional crop creats a more balanced diet and creates an economic opportunity by enabling the family to sell excess produce at the market.

Thank you again for your generous support and help the poor people who less fortunate in the rual area of Siem Reap. On behalf of a Founder/Director with all teams of FWEC and the Cambodian people, we are really appreciate of your generosity. God blessing you!
