Background
Thangchong: 454 Khmu residents at 1,450 m, with a school of 60 children. Huay Bor: 250 Lao and Khmu residents, 2 hours 20 from Nong Khiaw, with a school of 40 children. These children have no safe access to drinking water, which prevents illness and helps them concentrate.
What was done
Two Safe Water Cube fountains, donated each year and imported from France, filter the water (including a ceramic filter). In each school, NK Seeds plans a solid shelter about 2.80 m square, locked and connected to the water supply, at €1,895 per shelter.
The team
The NK Seeds project manager will oversee the work, with an engineer.
