Hi guys!
I need your help! I’ve joined this really amazing non-profit organization called WNT and they are currently trying to raise funds for water filters in Cambodia. They've already reached 6,000 people this year and now they're raising money to help more people in Cambodia.
Millions people do not have access to clean filtered water and thus causing major disease outbreaks which in turn leads to an increase number of death toll in the country.
So, I've trying to do as little as I can about it. The plan is to raise USD 500, which will be sufficient to help install 8 water filters in 8 different homes, thus helping 8 different families! We'll donate the proceeds to an NGO in Cambodia called Water For Cambodia (WFC) for them to build and install water filters for rural families in Cambodia.
In January, I would be heading up to Cambodia to actually get my hands dirty building the filters and also to meet with the families which we will be helping. It's going to be an amazing experience and I’m really looking forward to it.
WNT has been very transparent about how the donations will be used. Here are some details to help you understand better; each filter cost USD 62.50. 80% or USD 50 goes directly towards material to build the filters. That includes concrete, river sand, gravel and all other cost incurred to build the actual filter. 10% or USD 6.25 goes towards credit card fees and online transaction cost and another 10% goes towards WNT to help them cover some of the basic costs they incur in fundraising.
