Water for Cambodia / カンボジアに安全な水を


I visited an water laboratory "Water for Cambodia" to provide water filters. This laboratory is supported by MIddletown Rotary charitable trust. According to them, 65% of Cambodia's rural population does not have access to clean water. 20% of the deaths of children under the age of 5 are due to waterborne diseases. The filter is used many developing countries such as Southeast Asia and Africa. Each filter costs $50 to build and install, lasting years with very little maintenance.
