Clean Water Project

The large majority of Cambodian people live in rural areas. The villagers lack bare necessities, especially clean drinking water. Poor drinking Water and sanitation are the main causes of high rates of infant mortality. Having access
to clean water and an understanding of hygiene is crucial to helping people to improve living conditions.  
      
The installation of hand water pumps and water filters is vital in order to help reduce disease. It costs $175 for one water pump, although this price is discounted if many water pumps are ordered together.
 
HVTO is appealing to all charitable people who can help to provide a clean water pump and water filter to our Cambodian communities. HVTO can co-ordinate this and make sure the water pumps are delivered to the neediest families in the rural areas.

 

Education Sponsorship Program

Most of the children in Sophy and Sreth villages stop going to school around the age of 16. The reason for that is poverty. Many of the children are intelligent and hard-working.
  
Their parents generally want them to go to school, but unfortunately they can not afford the money for transport, school materials and private tuition. These children do not have the opportunity to finish high school, although graduation from high school provides an important qualification which is necessary for good careers in Cambodia.
  
To help the best selected students finish high school, HVTO is looking for financial sponsors around the world who can provide a monthly donation for a few years. HVTO monitors the students and facilitates the communication between the sponsors and the sponsored students. Please click here to read the child's story
