Help provide 2 sets of school uniforms to a rural Cambodian student and take the burden off their family. Education is free in Cambodia, but there are requirements. One of those requirements is to purchase uniforms for their students, which many families can’t afford. The cost for 2 sets is $30. Give in full or part, every amount helps to bring a smile to a child’s face.

According to the village chief, Mr. Nhem, “We received around 50 latrines from Trailblazer Foundation in our village. So, we were very happy Trailblazer’s Health Program came to our community. Before getting latrines, some villagers went to defecate everywhere in our village such as dig the soil or went to the fields around village causing many diseases in my village. ” He said, “We need more latrines for my village. I hope Trailblazer can do more latrines for my village.” The cost to construct a latrine is $175. In order to purchase the supplies and for labor we need to raise money for 20 latrines.

Celebrating World Toilet Day: How Trailblazer Foundation is providing clean water and sanitation to rural Cambodia. Chris Coats, Co-founder and Executive Director, Trailblazer Foundation spoke with Goodera. She shares about Trailblazer and the programs run to ensure WASH facilities in rural parts of Cambodia.
With easier access to clean water, the villagers started growing healthier crops. They then started to request for farmers training to build their farming businesses. As the needs of the people they supported developed, so Trailblazer’s activities evolved together with the community. The growth of quality crops catalysed the birth of Trailblazer’s farmers training programme with the help of B1G1’s amazing Worthy Causes.
