INTRODUCTION
As an initiative of Water
Charity, we do small but critical water and sanitation projects. Each one is a solution to a problem, costs no more than $500, and uses appropriate technology. We start them at once and complete them very quickly.
We partner with Peace Corps Volunteers serving throughout the world, who identify, implement, manage, and evaluate the projects. They work in concert with NGOs and governmental agencies near where they are stationed.
Each project has a high impact, resulting in clean water and effective sanitation for individuals, families, and communities. We are flexible, and can react to emergencies.
We offer you, individuals and organizations alike, the opportunity to participate in our work, and fund these projects, in whole or in part.
However, we don't wait for donations to come in. We pre-fund these projects IMMEDIATELY!
We like simplicity, so that’s all there is to it.

Conclusion of Bun Ranny Hun Sen High School Bathroom Projects 1 & 2 – Cambodia
The two bathroom projects have been completed. To read about the start of the Bun Ranny Hun Sen High School Bathroom Project 1 – Cambodia, CLICK HERE. To read about the start of the Bun Ranny Hun Sen High School Bathroom Project 2 – Cambodia, CLICK HERE.
The first project was to build a girl’s bathroom at Building A of Bun Ranny Hun Sen High School. Upon embarking on the project, the decision was made to proceed to build the boy’s bathroom adjacent to the first, and to postpone construction bathrooms at other buildings.
The construction of the two bathrooms together resulted in significant savings, which came from building a single structure and a single set of tanks.
Bun Ranny Hun Sen High School Bathroom Project 1 was fully funded through the generosity of friends of Lauren, as set forth on the project page. Project 2 is still unfunded. You can help fund upcoming projects by Lauren and her counterpart PCVs in Cambodia by helping with the funding of Project 2.
Lauren has gone on to do two well projects, the Prey
Sumnang Well Project - Cambodia and the Toom
T’Mai Well Project - Cambodia.
