Clean water is life. Through Australia’s support to more than 80 private water operators across Cambodia, over 1.2 million people in rural Cambodians now benefit from reliable piped water.
In Takeo’s Tram Kak district, Ambassador Yip visited Pok Trobek Water Supply, where Australia supported piped network expansion for 23 villages and connection subsidies to increase access for lower socio-economic households and schools and health centres. This project alone will bring treated piped water to 13,500 people for the very first time.
Access to clean water is already making a difference - reducing burdens on women and the elderly, strengthening climate resilience, improving health and supporting local businesses to grow.
