In Phone Muang Village, Xephone District of Savannakhet Province, 56-year-old Mrs. Bounma shares a small home with her elderly mother. For years, like many of her neighbors, she had no choice but to rely on river water or shallow wells for cooking and drinking—sources that were often unsafe and put her family’s health at risk.

When she received a ceramic water filter through the TerraClear subsidy program, her relief and gratitude were immediate. Now, she and her mother can drink clean, safe water each day without fear of sickness.
Mrs. Bounma shared her joy with our staff:
“Thank you so much for this filter, and may your company be blessed. I promise to use it for my family for as long as possible. I clearly understand how to use it because the staff explained everything to me very well.”
Her words remind us that a simple filter is far more than clay and ceramic—it is security for an aging mother, health for a daughter, and hope for an entire household. Each filter placed in a home brings real change, family by family, across Laos.
