Wah Foundation

Recognized by Forbes Heroes of Philanthropy, WAH Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives and conditions of rural communities. We are recognized as an impactful NGO that empowers local people to improve their living conditions & access new healthcare & education opportunities for a brighter future. In some areas of Cambodia 8% of children die before they reach 5 years old, mainly through the drinking of unclean water and poor hygiene. WAH has developed a clean water bicycle pump system which can produce 500 litres of clean water per hour. Children enjoy using our bicycle systems, being installed in school playgrounds, with no need for electricity or generators, just pedal power. We also have a collaboration with Unilever on a hand washing and dental hygiene program, which is integrated into the clean water system in the school playgrounds. WAH has been working in collaboration with KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Singapore for the last four years, training over 200 midwives in Cambodia, covering Kampong Chhnang province, with a population of people. Every medical center and hospital in the province has now been trained and impact numbers show a 70% drop in mortality rate of mothers in birth. Clean water and health education changes everything.
