Water Water

Clean water is something many of us take for granted. We turn a tap, and there it is.

Water water  

 

In the slums where Flame works, clean water is not at the other end of the tap, it has to be bought. Rithy, our 'almost-doctor'  runs the Mobile Medical Tuktuk, and has found a solution to the clean water issue: a water filter that needs no electricity, only water. Last night, he and Sothy (another Flame young leader who is studying to become a pediatrician) installed a water filter in a slum. This is the first we have done, and we will monitor and check to see if this is a sustainable solution. Keep Watching This Space! 

Want to help us bring more water filters to slums in Phnom Penh?
