Background
A remote mountain village, 90 km from the town of Oudomxay over difficult roads. Its 57 houses live 95% off the forest and maize. With no drinking water, people used to walk down to a small river.
What was done
After a survey in June 2024, NK Seeds put in a complete system in the spring of 2025: water from a spring 4 km away is tapped, stored in a reservoir built for the project, then distributed through standpipes.
Results
The work ran from April to June 2025 with the villagers: a launch meeting in the village, tapping the spring, 4 km of pipes, a concrete reservoir and standpipes. 317 residents served.
