Clean water is one of the most basic needs for survival. Although most of Cambodian has plenty of water, what is available to the majority of families is either natural surface water or water made available in shallow, hand dig, Pit Well. Both of these sources are filled with mud, insects, and disease, and covered over by even dirtier water during 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 addition crop creates a more balance diet and creates an economic opportunity by enabling the families 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!

FOUNDATION FOR WATER & EDUCATION CAMBODIA (FWEC), would like to inform that:
This is the good results of a family of well number 200 which donated by Ms. Tina Etherington (Rome, Italy - London, England). During December 2013, we provided the water wells for better health, for cooking, bathing, irrigating the crops, we provided the agricultural tools for farming, the seeds pack for planting etc. They started to use all the given agricultural tools & seeds by FWEC to plant that enabling the family to sell excess produce at the market
In the next two months Chantrea (FWEC Founder/Director), visited the wells and this family again and saw a great results of their own help, effort & self-sufficient. These yields were growing with lots of green and vegetable fruitful which got irrigated from the water wells that have been installed by FWEC. The children have enough food for lunch and dinner, the whole family's economic is getting better.....
FWEC is proud of our efforts helping those people in need, to offer relief, not continuous aid. In having better health and economic opportunity the families are able to prosper and become self-sufficient.
