CLEAN WATER PROJECT
CLEAN WATER PROJECT
OBJECTIVES:
Access to clean water is a basic human need. Sustainable Development Goal target 6.1 calls for universal & equitable access to safe & affordable drinking water. However, most people living in remote areas in Cambodia are in dire need of improved water sources for drinking & domestic consumption that can contribute to better health & poverty alleviation.
Our Cambodian NGO, Emaan Foundation Cambodia (EFC) has been implementing the Clean Water Project since its establishment in 2015.
There are many NGOs implementing clean water projects in Cambodia, especially in provinces around the capital city Phnom Penh. The main reasons are logistical convenience & lower cost. However, the beneficiaries in these areas already have an excess supply of water pumps & wells compared to those further from the capital & remote areas which are difficult to access due to road conditions & logistical issues.
5 Principles to ensure sustainability & equality

Identify the real needs of communities & beneficiaries regardless of location

Encourage the participation & ownership from beneficiaries & community

Serving all beneficiaries regardless of religion & ethnicity, unless specified by donor

Frequent water quality test & follow-up on the condition of water pumps & wells

Engage local authorities & partners in planning & implementation.
