The Ban Nahom communities are thankful to finally have access to drinkable water and the various services offered by our water kiosk. On November 8, we started a hygiene prevention program by distributing free soap and reminding people about the fundamentals of hand washing. This action was particularly appreciated by the villagers.

But beyond the acute need for drinkable water and hand hygiene, access to education is also expressed as essential by the inhabitants of the region.

The Mayor of Ban Nahom village, Somchith Kansanith, has been leading a solidarity campaign over the last few months to collect the necessary funds from families to build a new secondary school for the 420 students in the region.

During our meeting on November 8th, he informed us of their need for the remaining $ 500.00 to build the concrete pillars of the school. Below are photos of the current school:

Aware of the importance of this project and admiring this movement of solidarity, our team wishes to support them and allow the 420 students of the region to benefit from an adequate structure ensuring their training and their future.

For this reason, we need your help. The donations received so far are dedicated solely to the construction of our water kiosks. So we are now soliciting you to collect this amount. Every amount, no matter how small, is precious to us. I enclose below the QR code of our Association.

Thank you very much for your support 🙏

Donors will receive a donation attestation and will, of course, be informed about the progress of the project.

Since December 1st 2020, Ly Chongheuly has been hired as Project Manager and Director of TdS Laos. His enthusiasm, curiosity and initiative have enabled him to acquire great skills in the field of social entrepreneurship and drinking water supply.

For more than two years, we worked remotely under particularly difficult conditions. Despite the many difficulties, sleepless nights and stressful moments, we managed to create “TdS Community Drinking Water Company, sole, ltd.”, ensuring that TdS Switzerland would be able to meet the objectives of our social entrepreneurship concept presented to our precious donors. Without him, we would not have succeeded.

Beyond his professionalism, Ly is a trustworthy person who works with his heart and out of love for his people. I would like to thank him warmly for this precious collaboration which is the key to our success!

Team dynamics and cohesion are essential to achieve the goals we have set. Thanks to our communication, our common goals, but also our differences, our Association can now say that it has the main foundations for a successful team! It should be remembered that Ly currently has 5 employees under his responsibility. An important management task which he carries out with brio.
