This loan product will enable households to buy a ceramic water filter that will ensure their health by providing sustained access to safe drinking water. It will also reduce the time and money they spend collecting fuel and/or boiling water to drink. Training is provided to households so that they are educated in safe hygiene practices and the importance of drinking safe water – particularly for young children who are most vulnerable to waterborne diseases.
Please note this loan will be disbursed by iDE Cambodia's sister company - Hydrologic.
