Mr. Chan Sam

Mr. Chan Sam An is the Principle of Svay Chrum Primary School in Svay Rieng Province. Mr. Chan says that the school's performance has made big improvements since installing the water filter. The school applied for the BioSand filter, latrines, handwashing station, and garbage incinerator in 2014 and received them in March of 2015. The school had to contribute the structure to protect the water filter. They also had to contribute the water tank to hold water for flushing the latrines. Clear Cambodia provided Principal Chan with a complete hygiene education curriculum - complete with handouts, posters and guidebooks for teachers. Clear Cambodia has also developed songs to help the children remember good hygiene habits. The school currently has 1006 students. In 2014, before the filter was installed, the school had a daily absence rate of 7.5%. In 2015, after the filter was installed, the daily absence rate dropped to 5.0%. In 2016 it dropped to 3.5%. The amount of students who complete the requirements and move on to the next grade has gone up as well with the installation of the Bio-Sand filter, latrine, and handwashing station. In 2014, before the filter was installed, the pass rate was 79% over all the grades. In 2015 it rose to 82%, and in 2016 it rose again to 85%. The surrounding communities have noticed the changes and recently families have begun to move into the district so that their children can attend Principal Chan's school. Principal Chan attributes these changes to the clean water that Clear Cambodia has provided in the community. He says that access to clean water and community hygiene education reduces the financial strain on families. It does this by preventing diseases that take away productive work and school time and reduces the costs families pay for hospital bills. By educating the students on good hygiene they are able to educate the community. Because of the health education the children are receiving, most families in the community have now built a latrine for their own family's use, and most have also invested in a home Bio-Sand filter to clean their drinking and bathing water at home.
