Delivering the filters to 35 families in Phoneton Village, Salavan was a challenge this week! First, the filters were delivered to the warehouse weeks ago, waiting for the right time to deliver. On Wednesday, three TerraCare workers prepared for delivery to Phoneton. Located far from the main road, Phoneton is located across a river that can only be accessed by a small boat ferry crossing. Pui, the team manager, organized the delivery, starting with loading the filters from the warehouse to the truck.
From there, Nith and Phoneseng drove filters to the river and with the help of villagers, loaded them onto the ferry. From the ferry, the filters were loaded onto a tok-tok and carried to the village.
Finally, the 35 families gathered to learn about their new filters. Training includes instruction on setup and maintenance. Now 35 families in Phoneton Village have clean water! Thank you, TerraCare team!!!
