Product description The village of Ban Bo Ong is located on the Khao Laem reservoir, about 1 10 km north-west of Bangkok on the Burmese border. The village is a settlement consisting of around 400 homes scattered about on the west bank of the reservoir. The reservoir that was created in the 80s cuts the village off from civilization. There are no access roads, no electricity and no communication. The villagers get their water either from the lake or by collecting rainwater in drums. Both sources are heavily polluted. The poorest 60 families have now been given Katadyn Drip fi lters. The second project relates to the village of Wang Hin, situated about 90 km north-east of Udon Thani heading toward the Lao border. Around 300 families live in Wang Hin. Numerous children suffer from diarrhea.
