A garden and more from the gift of a well

Thank you for your gift of a water well through the Trailblazer Foundation. Your generosity supports Jhem Youk’s family. Youk, his wife and two children live in a house made with palm leaf walls in Sambuor, a village in Cambodia. They have one bicycle, two cows, and an oxcart for transportation. With their cows they also plow their rice field and can grow and store 1,000 kilogrmas of rice for the season. To supplement their diet with protein, they harvest eggs from their three chickens.

With your well, the Youk can irrigate a garden and grow more food for his children. They may even be successful enough to harvest extra and sell it for a little income. Thank you, Kowsilliya, for giving Youk and his family the gift of water and the hope of a better life.
