Vietnamese Projects
In partnership with ChildFund Vietnam, Hope Water™ recently constructed six household wells in the Bach Thong District of Bac Kan Province, Vietnam. The project’s aim was to improve access to safe water for disadvantaged households living in six communes throughout the province.
The project involved:
- Scoping out a construction site
- Testing water sources to ensure the quality of the water meets Government criteria
- Developing technical designs
- Digging and building the well
- Quality testing
This well building project utilised local labour and will be tested annually by ChildFund’s WatSan (Water Sanitation) program manager.
This project alone has provided a safe, clean and sustainable water source for the villagers living in Bac Kan Province. Clean water will help to reduce reproductive tract infections in women and water-borne diseases which commonly occur in children in this region. These families no longer have to walk for hours to obtain water. The constructed wells have provided a vast improvement to living standards of these local people.
For all of you who have purchased and continue to drink Hope Water™, thank you. Your decision to drink this brand of bottled water is saving lives.
