Background
A Khmu village perched at 1,450 m, 3 hours 30 by 4x4 from the town of Oudomxay, with 119 houses and a school. The old water system had stopped working and its original spring had dried up.
What was done
In 2024, NK Seeds tapped a new spring about a kilometer away: its flow is limited, but it is the only one available. The existing reservoir was repaired, and several water points let every family reach it.
The team
The villagers took part in every stage of the work.
Results
The work was carried out in 2024 with the villagers: survey, buying the pipes, trenches, laying the pipes and repairing the covered reservoir, painted in the colors of NK Seeds and its partners. The network was inaugurated in early December 2024 with the authorities. About 454 residents served.
