Our Impact
Since Water and Healthcare Foundation was founded in 2009, we have kept our focus on the health, survival, and well-being of women and children. WAH might only be based in one of the 25 provinces of Cambodian, but Kampong Chhnang alone has a population of half a million. With our experience and strong foundation, we have built a system and strategy that will last. Our goal is empower the citizens of Kampong Chhnang to be in charge of their healthcare and their future.
Over the last decade of WAH’s involvement in Kampong Chhnang, the SCOPE OF impact has CONTINUED TO GROW.
Over 300 midwives and paediatric nurses and doctors trained in the province
90% drop in maternal mortality rates over 5 years
60-80% drop in diarrhoea in schools

Over 200 schools, hospitals and health centres with clean water systems, and over 80 systems being replaced with new systems.
20 local CORE trainers
Medical statistics best in Cambodia for maternal mortality.
Condition of 42 health centres show a big improvement over last 5 years, in efficiency, expertise, cleanliness and hygiene.

Our impact has also been measured due to AQWA, a Paris-based group of volunteers, who volunteered their time and skills to writing an in-depth impact study on our work. In 2017, a six-week study was done on WAH’s clean water systems and healthcare. And in August 2018, a six-week study was done on our medical training programs. AQWA produced two professionally researched and written reports.
