This is the first well of our Cambodia mission. It was built in spring of 2002 and located on the property of the Khnar Thmei United Methodist Church where nearby village families have easy access.

The well is surrounded by and shaded by mango trees. The shade makes using the well at any time of day comfortable.

Our Cambodia mission has built more than 60 clean water wells in 24 villages, 6 primary schools and 2 orphanages. Included with the well is personal hygiene and community sanitation education and training.
