Australia–Cambodia partnership expands clean water access

Australia’s support has helped over 1.2 million rural Cambodians access clean piped water. Today, we reached another milestone with the launch of a new water treatment plant and pipe network in Taing Kouk district, Kampong Thom, inaugurated by Minister H.E. Hem Vanndy and Ambassador Yip.

 

The climate resilient system will bring safe water to 10,000 people, four schools and a health centre, helping Cambodia move closer to universal clean water access by 2030.

 

The Minister and Ambassador also met individuals and small business owners benefitting from this access.
