A simple way to examine water quality at a village level !

 During 2009-2023, most of our tasks on water with local people were uncreasing water supply, water storage at village, cluster and household levels. Thses work were very  supportive to the villagers to access to clean water.

In 2024 we starts to  focus on quality of water feeding villages, so we set up workshops for leaders , youths and school kids on simple way to test water qulaity in the streams.

We belief this activity  can help local people to be more self-reliance on water. This is one of the sustainable ways on "WATER". 

How nice to see  the "STREAMS DETECTIVES" of three generations working actively and happily  together at  the village's water head.

Sharing Happiness to Khun Yuam

Our February is to prepare area based project on environment at Romthai village. Along the way we set up a campagin " Sharing Happiness to Khun Yuam" 

Got to know from our local network, a doctor who has dedcated himself working for marginalized people around Mae Hong Son for many years that many people are in-need. 

We also got to know that Mae Hong Son was the highest proportion of the poor province and being one of the province with Chronic poverty in 2023.  Then we informed our local network for their donations of necessities which was very successful.  Some also donated cash into the "Phato village medicine Fund" 

February not only the month of LOVE but also the month of Happiness !

As Winston Curcill mentioned "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give". We are happy to give to the vulnerable people!

The 2024 first step on water test !

We started our first 2024 mission with a water quality testing workshop at Chiang Rai Rajabhat University(CRRU). Our committees and volunteers learnt and practice how to evaluate water quality using  biological methods. The  method is simple and applicable for local people to evaluate  how clean is the water feeding their communities. So they can pareapre early local plans to manage their water sources/water head and streams. 

One important thing to achieve sustainable development  is to enhance local people to be  self-reliance. To be able to test water quality by themselves is one example.  

Our first step was very joyful and  meaningful with knowledge, experiences and friendship. We believe 2024 is a happy and successful journey "Our success is not only achieveing the SCF goals, but also enjoying to learn and share with the team and local people along the way"
