Social Engagement & Sponsorship
In 2021, SFA Group donated Three AquaHome Systems in Cambodia
"Remote villages in Siem Reap, Cambodia have no electricity or clean water source. In addition, the laterite roads make transportation difficult especially during the rainy season. Waterborne illnesses are common among children and they lack proper medication because of their distance from the health center.
SFA partnered with Planet Water Foundation to install an AquaHome in three of the poorest households in Cambodia. This solution brings clean water and lighting into homes for the first time and is accompanied by Planet Water's hygiene education program to help improve the living conditions of the families.
""We always suffer from diarrhea and skin rashes because we have no clean water for drinking and hand-washing. My children are thin and unhealthy and often miss school because they are ill. With the Aqua-Home, they will now have a better chance to be healthy and to perform better in school."" Ly Leat, Father of three
