$20 – Help them Learn
This will pay for a solar powered ‘moonlight’, which will allow a child to study into the evening every night, where this otherwise wouldn’t be possible as there is no power or lighting in the villages.
$60 – Keep them Healthy
This will purchase the materials required to construct a household ‘bio-sand’ water filter. This will filter bacteria out of contaminated ground water sources to make the water safe to drink, also for cooking, cleaning, washing hands and brushing teeth, helping reduce sickness and keep the people healthy. Each filter should last 25+ years, leaving a lasting and sustainable impact!
$600 – Help a Family For Life
This will pay for the construction of a rainwater harvesting tank which is dug deep into the ground and collects clean rainwater through the wet season. A tank like this can be used for a family, a school or for a community group of people where there is no access to groundwater sources.
$1,200 – Help Feed Them
This will purchase a petrol powered water pump and hoses to be used for irrigating crops all year round, helping to kickstart a sustainable farming program for some of the villagers to grow food to eat and sell at local markets.
$7,000 – Help Feed a Whole Village
This will be used to help kick start one community’s agriculture program. This includes the digging of part of a channel for irrigating crops.
When the local people are able to use their land for growing crops to eat and sell, this will help keep families together as it will mean more of the men can work in the village, meaning they will no longer need to make the dangerous and often fatal journey over the Thai border to do illegal construction work in an effort to try to feed their families.
