Healthy Communities, Thriving Futures: Our WASH Approach

Good health is the foundation of prosperity. In developing regions like Cambodia's Siem Reap province, it's the difference between a child attending school and a parent providing for their family. Tragically, waterborne diseases pose a significant threat.

Our Solution: Clean Water & Sanitation

Trailblazer Foundation's Health Program tackles this challenge head-on. We focus on:

Clean Water Access: Constructing bio-sand water filters to provide safe drinking water and drilling wells to provide access to water.
Improved Sanitation: Building latrines to enhance hygiene, provide safety and reduce disease transmission.
Comprehensive Training: Providing maintenance and hygiene training at the community and household levels. Ensuring the proper use and upkeep of our technologies is crucial for long-term success.

Empower Change: Donate

In Cambodia, where millions suffer from diarrheal diseases annually, access to clean water is critical. Bio-sand filters and wells are essential tools in our fight against these illnesses. To ensure these tools are effective, education is paramount. Despite the simplicity of our technologies, they are new to many communities. Therefore, thorough training on their importance, proper use, and maintenance is provided to every household and community.

The WASH Connection

Our work aligns with the global WASH strategy (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene). WASH programs are proven to:

Boost health and life expectancy.
Improve student learning.
Advance gender equality.

For Trailblazer, WASH is more than a strategy; it's a commitment to building sustainable, healthy communities where everyone can thrive. We believe that clean water and sanitation are fundamental rights, and we're dedicated to making them a reality in Siem Reap.
