In the abundant southern farmlands of Vietnam, the morning humidity is already gripping to Kim Cuong as he goes about his daily labor. Because they live far off the main road, Cuong and his family don’t have access to the town’s water pipeline. At times, when they can afford it, Cuong buys water from a neighbor, spending a large portion of their meager income. Some parts of the year, however, the father has no work and no way to provide clean water for his family. Often, they resort to using contaminated water, leading to severe illness from waterborne diseases. “We store water in a large concrete tank, despite the water’s lack of cleanliness and occasional discoloration,” Cuong’s father explained. “This situation leaves us with no alternative but to use the water regardless of its condition.” Samaritan’s Purse has been working in Cuong’s community, and surrounding districts, to provide clean water directly to households. Recently, we installed one of these water pipelines to provide Cuong’s family with access to water inside their home. During the dry season in northern Vietnam’s highlands, it’s nearly impossible to find enough water to avoid dehydration, and the little that’s available is usually full of contaminants carried there during rainy season storms. We are thankful for how God has moved and provided clean water for so many people! Join us in continuing to pray over our work with clean water in Vietnam.

Access to clean water is crucial for communities. It's fundamental for human survival, health, and well-being, preventing waterborne diseases, and supporting agriculture and industry. Ensuring clean water access is a human right and essential for sustainable development.
