“My name is Hen Nhen, I am 48 years old, and live in Kbal Tnol village, Seb commune, Kampong Tralach district, Kampong Chhang province. I have two children. I am a farmer. I have had a Bio Sand Filter (BSF) for 8 months now and I now have enough clean water to use every day from this BSF.
“Before, my family and I drank unclean water from a well or river directly without boiling. We had many sicknesses. My children often couldn’t got to school because of diarrhea, stomach aches, typhoid and worms. We spent a lot of money for medicines and going to the clinic. We couldn’t save any money.
“We treasure this BSF, because it eliminates all pathogens from unclean water. It produces a lot of clean water for drinking, hand washing, cooking and cleaning vegetables. We have less sickness. Our health is improved. The BSF is very important because it gives us clean water for our living in rural community. We will use this BSF forever.
“I would like to thank Thankyou Water and CGA-CHE staff for training us on health provision, clean water, hygiene sanitation and BSF.”
