On 29 October, the NK Seeds team set off to inaugurate a new clean water project in Sen Khran, in northern Laos. Until now, the village's 400 or so inhabitants walked long distances every day to reach water that was often unsafe to drink. Behind this project lies an essential goal: improving access to water and making everyday life easier for the people who live there.
That day, we went to meet the people who will benefit from the water, as well as those whose commitment and support made the project possible.
Why Sen Khran
Sen Khran lies in the Muang Xay district, and it is the most remote village in the district. This is one of the reasons NK Seeds chose to support its inhabitants, for whom access to water was a real challenge. Thanks to the project, a water source located 7 km from the village now supplies 36 water points serving 40 families.
From the tank to the taps
A large concrete tank has been built above the village. It feeds taps set up close to the houses: during the inauguration, the guests opened them one by one, and the water flowed.
A day of celebration
As with every big moment in Laos, the day continued with a baci, the ceremony where white strings are tied around the wrists to wish happiness and good health, followed by a meal shared with the villagers.
“Because solidarity truly matters when it turns into meaningful, concrete action.”
