Our program supervisor Václav recently lead vendor training for 6 enthusiastic vendors in Vientiane, Laos. Econoxlaos generously supported our workshop.
Abundant Water is pleased to announce the successful installation of 130 water filters, providing clean and safe drinking water to over 2,400 students and 139 teachers in Loon District of Bohol, made possible by a generous grant from the Reece Foundation.
At the start of August, Program Supervisor Chris and Project Manager Ozorio set out on the bike to visit some of Abundant Water's vendors in the remote regions of Timor-Leste.
After selling 10 filters along the way to fund the trip, the team were able to meet vendors for the first time at their residences to get a sense of the opportunities and challenges of promoting in the districts.
On 18 July 2024, Abundant Water organised a study tour for some of our donors and supporters took part in an informative and eye opening field trip in Timor-Leste.
Participants had the chance to visit two schools near Dili: the Escola Basico Filial pilaparia Government School and the Mae de deus tibar (Mother of God) School.
As some of our followers may know, in May 2023 our previous Program Supervisor in Timor-Leste Emily Glazebrook won 2nd prize at the Global Solutions Young Global Changers Recoupling Awards. This saw Emily travel all the way to Berlin to pitch the Abundant Water solution to a panel of judges at the televised event!
We recently had the opportunity to train 8 vendors and 2 government officers on WASH issues, water filter technology, filter set preparation, and marketing fundamentals.
