Activity Description:
Since 2001, The American and International Federation of Red Cross network has partnered with an outside NGO supply chain ( International Development Enterprises, IDE) in Northeastern Cambodia in the Prey Veng Water project, to provide over 9,000 portable, low-cost, ceramic water purifiers to poor households.
Thanks to seed money from the World Bank Marketplace, the project succesfully transitioned from subsidized, import-driven sales to full-cost, locally-produced (by the Cambodian Red Cross) sales of ceramic filters. Earnings from sales now recover production and distribution costs. IDE is also developing larger ceramic filters to service communities.
