Our mission is to improve the lives and conditions of rural communities in Cambodia, through dedication to sustainable clean water, healthcare & education.
Our priority is the well-being of women and children.
We work with the local communities and empower them through innovation, partnerships, and medical education. We target schools, hospitals and health centres to supply them with clean water and medical training programs, including train-the-trainer. In addition, we work directly with local community leaders to ensure long-term independence and sustainability.
Our past projects include cataract operations, midwifery and paediatric emergency care training, in addition to installing clean water systems where needed.
We listen to locals.
We learn about their problems.
We go where we are needed.

Because clean water changes everything.
WAH has been working directly with the Provincial Health Department in order to provide sustainable solutions from the bottom up. First, WAH installed water tanks; an ongoing project.
