In many parts of rural Cambodia, basic sanitation remains a critical and unmet need. Families often rely on polluted rivers for drinking and bathing. Open defecation and the absence of safe toilets are common—leading to widespread illness, malnutrition, and even child mortality. Women and girls, in particular, suffer the consequences, facing risks to their dignity, health, and safety.

Your $1,000 one-time donation funds a Village Sanitation Project—a transformative initiative that creates clean water access and safe sanitation infrastructure in areas that need it most.

Each project typically includes:

• Building a community water well or installing a hand pump

• Constructing sanitary latrines (toilets) with privacy and drainage

• Installing water filtration systems to reduce waterborne disease

• Training sessions on hygiene, handwashing, and waste management

• Ongoing maintenance and community ownership support

With your support and collaboration from others, GHASDO Asia can provide clean water and improved sanitation for a cluster of up to 47 people—a small village, a school compound, or several neighboring families. The impact is immediate and long-lasting:

• Illnesses like diarrhea, typhoid, and cholera are drastically reduced

• School attendance improves, especially among girls

• Women and children no longer walk miles to fetch water

• Dignity is restored through safe, private hygiene facilities

Sanitation is not just about cleanliness—it’s about equality, opportunity, and health justice. A safe toilet and clean water tap can literally change the trajectory of a community.

Your $1,000 brings dignity, health, and hope to an entire village—drop by drop, brick by brick.
