4 km
to the spring
Kunvang is a remote, hard-to-reach village in the mountains of northern Laos, in Beng district, Oudomxay province. Its 317 inhabitants have no access to clean water. Every day, families walk several kilometres to a small river to fetch water.
Kunvang joins the villages where NK Seeds brings clean water, such as Hoy Khong and Sob Khan in Muang Ngoy district, or Thangsieng in Oudomxay province.

A signing in the village
The project was announced in August 2025. In November, the NK Seeds team and its partners travelled to Kunvang. The welcome was warm: the village women held up a “Welcome to Kunvang” banner, and the village council received the team in traditional dress.
At the end of this meeting, an official agreement was signed to launch the water supply project.
What water will change
According to NK Seeds, the project will:
- bring clean water right into the village;
- reduce fatigue and health risks;
