Cambodia has the sad record of being the Asian country with the highest percentage of child mortality, mainly due to diseases caused by the consumption of non-drinking water.
For this reason we support the project of the association IL NODO ONLUS “Clean water, which aims to distribute water purification filters in the villages of four different provinces of Cambodia.
Whole families are involved in hygiene and filter use and maintenance courses and in the following two years they are followed to check the health status and the correct use of the filters. Among the beneficiary families, intestinal diseases have practically disappeared and, in addition to causing child mortality, cause discontinuity both at work and at school.
