Marshall Foundation (Berge Bulk Shipping):
Multi-year partnershiP:18 new CLEAN WATER SYSTEMS Annually - 2019-2026 commitment
Marshall Foundation has supported WAH for many years and continues to help us build water systems year after year. Their team have invested time visiting Kampong Chhnang and contributed to building and installing systems with guidance from our team on-site: from their own direct, and personal experience, the Marshall team totally understand what its like to operate in remote, rural areas. WAH is indeed blessed to have Marshall Foundation as a long term partner and donor.
“The efforts of WAH have achieved significant results. The number of illnesses caused by unsanitary water sources has decreased significantly – a doctor from a village near Tonlé Sap River even reported an 80% drop in water-related stomach ailments since the installation of WAH’s filtered water pumps.
Since 2010, WAH’s extensive water projects have impacted approximately 350,000 people and 285 schools, while ensuring the availability of clean water for all 3 hospitals and 49 health centres in the Kampong Chhnang province.
WAH also branches into pediatric healthcare and spearheaded a hospital midwife and pediatric training initiative with KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital Singapore, launched in 2013, with training programs for over 400 local midwives covering birthing methods and emergency practices. An annual commitment of 2x pediatric training workshops, with over 80 nurses & doctors attending.
THE SILENT FOUNDATION:
5 year partnership
Silent Foundation was founded in July 2010 by Mr Teng Ngiek Lian and his family. The foundation is dedicated to assist ‘silent sufferers’. Silent sufferers refer to those who have been overlooked by society and tend to be voiceless, such as by funding charities helping foreign workers, the elderly & by promoting environmental conservation & animal protection.
Silent Foundation were very impressed with the work WAH and KKH were doing together, training midwives and paediatric nurses and doctors in Cambodia, and the Train-the-Trainer program. Mr Teng and Matthew decided to support the programs over a 3 year period, which has helped us train 300+ midwives, nurses and doctors, and over 20 essential CORE trainers. This partnership has had a significant impact in the province, with 90% reduction in maternal mortality, and a raising of medical standards in hospitals and health centres. It’s a great honour to be in partnership with Silent Foundation.
