Making Boy’s life more productive with a well

Pull pump and home garden

Boy Buon is the household head, who lives in Romduol village, Reul commune, Puok district, Siem Reap Province. He uses his new pull pump well for watering his gardens, for cooking and for washing. His family of four include one son and one daughter. He has a hatch-roof house with hatch wall, one bicycle, 6 hens and 2 pigs. This year his family harvested 500kg of rice. He said that he’ll use the water to irrigate his gardens and he’ll try to grow more vegetables for eating and selling in his villages.  Thank you, Robert, for making Boy’s life more productive. Previously he had to walk 1 mile to a water hole and carry the water to his garden and home in buckets.

(Boy was too shy to have his picture taken and asked that only the well and garden be recorded.)
