Dear Friends,
We hope all is well with you and yours. As you know K.I.D.S is dedicated to bringing clean drinking water to children, families and communities. Each year, thanks to our donors, we are able to put clean drinking water systems at schools so the children, teachers and community members can access clean water and take it home rather than having to buy it.
Recently our great partner Kim told us about a medical clinic that serves fifteen villages, in a poor rural area. Most poor people cannot afford healthcare or going to hospitals in Cambodia however there are local clinics in village areas, and even though patients still have to pay, it is much less than going to a hospital.
The very basic clinic that Kim told us about has eight nurses who are trained to assess and care for those that need care and send them to hospitals if they are in need of further medical treatment.
The clinic serves approximately 1500 people a month. One of the main issues they have is that they do not have access to clean drinking water and therefore the patients and staff have to buy drinking water…hard to believe!

So once again, thanks to K.I.D.S. donors, we were able to improve the healthcare of many by getting our terrific water team in there to put in a clean water system at the clinic.

Everyone is very grateful. The patients and staff can also take clean water home as many do not have access to clean water at their own homes. We are always moved by how hard people work in Cambodia and often under very difficult situations. Thanks for easing and improving the lives of many by bringing the gift of clean water healing to those in need.
Until next time,
Adrianne and Rick
