In November 2016, we shared a dire situation with New Paradigm concerning a remote Laos farming and fishing village along the Mekong. Here clean water was available only a few months a year, leaving the 500 some families in the village of Ban Namnga with no safe water to use for drinking, cooking or even personal hygiene. The village\u2019s water pipes were old, corroded and badly cracked and the water tank held very little water most of the year and what was in the tank was typically contaminated.<\/p>\n
