Summary

We are now at the end of our project here in Cambodia. It has been a very challenging but productive summer. The main outcomes of the project where:

1. Setting up a distribution network for CWP's in the Poipet areas
2. Facilitating in the partnership between CHO and 1001 Fontaines where hopefully their system will be installed in the safe haven and AIDs clinic and provide clean drinking water for the children, as well as providing drinking water for several surrounding villages. Furthermore it will produce a profit which will help improve the safe haven site.
3. Setting up and developing a water treatment awareness programme that will hopefully be carried out in over 19 villages in the area.

Furthermore we donated $2000 to 1001 Fontaines to help them develop a promotional trailer that will contain a section on water contamination and aother section on how to treat the water. This will hopefully be a more effective way of educating the communities on water health.

We donated $5000 to CHO's water and sanitation department to help develop the water treatment programme and help fund the 1001 fontaines system if they decide this is the correct way forward.

We would like to stress that for any donation we gave, we made sure that the NGO knew they are welcome to spend the money on whatever they feel best, and that we made only recommendations for what we thought it may be spent on.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed and donated to the project - we hope you agree with how we donated it!



Next year EWB Edinburgh will be running another branch project - who knows where too! So until then, thank you for reading and goodbye!
