Clean Water for Better Health in Rural Thailand

Northeast of Chiang Mai, Thailand about a 5 hour drive is the Lahu village of Mae Pun Luang.  Recently some generous families in the village donated some prime realestate overlooking the village for the construction of a village Learning Center.  

This new Learning Center will provide a place in which people from surrounding villages can gather to learn English as a second language, receive basic first aid medical training, or learn about the latest innovations in agricultural production among the hill tribes.  The community Learning Center will provide a variety of seminars and classes at no cost to help equip the people to build stronger local economies and educational opportunities.

Famiily Connection Foundation was able to assist in the construction of a dedicated water supply for the Learning Center.  The water supply will meet the water needs of those staying in the Learning Center cabins and using the on-site cafeteria.  With a steady supply of clean water for the Learning Center, all the participants can focus on gaining useful knowledge and developing new skills to grow their communities academically and economically.

Did you turn on your water faucet this morning and get cool, clean water?

That would be close to a miracle in some parts of the world!

We take many things for granted and don't realize how blessed we are - and how difficult the basics of life are for many people of the world.

In northern Thailand, many rural, mountain villages do not have a clean, realiable water supply.  Trying to maintain a clean, reliable water supply can consume many hours of the day in some communities, taking away from time that could be spent on education and business development.  We are seeking to help solve that problem, one village at a time.

Our team continues to respond to requests for assistance in renovating, replacing or new construction of water supply systems in rural mountain villages of northern Thailand.  We are assessing each need and creating a list of priority projects that we will begin when adequate funds are collected.

Thank you for being a part of the solution of bringing cool, clean water to many who don't have it now, so they can turn their attention growing strong, productive communities.
