In Salee Noy Village in Nong District, Savannakhet Province, Chansai and his family have long struggled with access to safe drinking water.
Chansai, a 27-year-old father, lives with his 26-year-old wife and their two young daughters, ages 9 and 7. Like many families in their village, they rely on untreated water collected from local sources for their daily drinking needs. This water carries hidden dangers, causing stomach illness that impairs children and adults’ wellbeing.
Recently, the eldest daughter of their family became seriously ill with diarrhea, forcing her to stay home for several days to recover. For Chansai, this was a painful reminder of the risks his family faces every day simply by drinking water.
The family has long hoped to have a water filter, knowing it could protect their children’s health—but like many in their community, they simply could not afford one.
Through the TerraCare program, Chansai’s family qualified for a subsidized filter. When they received it, they were deeply grateful and full of hope. Now, they no longer have to worry each day about whether their water will make them sick.
For this family, the filter is more than a product—it is peace of mind, better health, and a safer future for their daughters.
