It is now rainy season in Thailand. So many places facing flood, stating from the northern part then goes to the central parts of the country. At the same time many villages facing drought and lack of water. What a contrast circumstance !
The Sustainable Community Foundation(SCF.) team and I got contacts from some villages for working together on water. After a number of site racces and discussions, we prioritize the project and then we agreed to start an emergency one.
It is a new village entitled "Wing Khamfa Village", located to the East of Chiang Rai city. The population composed of nine ethnic groups relocated from many places 12 years ago. Villagers here earn their livings by being construction labors in town, in rubber plantations, and making embroideries for selling.
Unfortunately, there is no water supply in the village. They rely on rain water, but some of them cannot afford water tanks. They are so called "vulnerable households" of single mothers, elderly, sick elderly, disable couples and disable child in the family.
We hope to work on water tanks for them within this rainy season. However, fund raising is a big challenge for the team. How to make this project happened while not yet enough fund. We will try our best to make it possible, and if more helping hands, we believe it is coming true.
Here are the existing water containers of the vulnerable households
Let's be a part of supporting rain water tanks to these vulnerable households. Our helping hand can make positive changes and prove "water for life"
