Prakaiwan and her husband are farmers in Thailand. They have two sources of water to drink: jars outside their home and an old community water tank. 

“The water tastes bad from both places. I tried to clean it by boiling it, but it still tastes funny. Sometimes when I see mosquito larvae in it I don’t drink it.” Notes Prakaiwan. 

Then Prakaiwan was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her doctor told her to stop drinking the bad water and only buy purified water. Soon they could not afford to do that. 

“We did not always have enough money for food. We were starving. I prayed and asked God to provide us with clean water.” She continues. 

Then Operation Blessing came to village. first, we tested the two water sources and confirmed it contained bacteria.  

Then thanks to you  Operation Blessing built a new water system for the community. We drilled a 400 foot deep well and added a 3-stage water treatment system. The clean water is stored in a tank for use by more 220 families —including Prakaiwan

“I never dreamed that this day would come. God answered my prayers! The water from the Operation Blessing well is clear, clean, and safe to drink. My doctor asked me, ‘What did you do? Your health has improved so much!’ I’m so grateful to the people who support Operation Blessing. Thank you!” She concludes.
