THAILAND – For the families of Baan Nong Khae, Thailand, every dry season meant desperation. As shallow wells ran dry and rainwater disappeared, parents faced impossible choices—spend scarce income on costly water or ration what little they had. Children fell sick, and daily life revolved around the struggle for a basic human necessity: clean water. That is what generations of these villagers endured—until friends like you brought clean water to Baan Nong Khae.
Through your compassionate giving, Operation Blessing was able to drill a deep, 64-meter well and install a water treatment system that provides safe, clean water to all 255 residents of Baan Nong Khae. For the first time, clean water to Baan Nong Khae means families no longer fear shortages. Children can drink without the risk of illness. Mothers can cook and clean without worrying about contamination. The future is full of hope, all because of the love and generosity of people like you.
The Impact of Clean Water
For young Wiphada, a 9-year-old student, the difference is life-changing. “We are glad to have this project. The water is clear and odorless. Having access to clean drinking water helps us stay healthy. Thank you for providing our community with good quality water.”
Beyond ensuring a reliable supply of clean water, the project also empowered the community with essential knowledge and training. A dedicated water committee was established, with five trained members responsible for maintaining the well. Additionally, Operation Blessing staff trained residents on proper handwashing, safe water storage, and ways to keep their village and water sources clean.
At the well’s dedication, the community gathered with the church to celebrate and give thanks. As they stood before the fresh, flowing water, a local pastor shared the words of Jesus: “But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life” (John 4:14). Indeed, this well is more than just a physical blessing—it is a promise of a better tomorrow, and together we brought it to them in Jesus’ name.
This gift of clean water to Baan Nong Khae is transforming lives, and it wouldn’t be possible without the kindness of friends like you. Thank you for being a part of this life-changing work.
