NEED WATER FOR RICE GROWING IN THE VILLAGE OF Thebes
Cambodia is not immune to the drought situation in South Asia this time, which currently affects the very hard rice. In a country where agriculture accounts for 29% of gross domestic product and nearly 59% of the population depends directly on this area, drought can quickly turn into disaster. Here, Water management is an important issue.
SMILES The team currently deployed in the province of Kompong Speu in school wood ESK has been contacted by November DUM commune chief of VOA SAR SISTER SAT village chief of Thebes to seek assistance in the construction of a dam that will allow villagers to regulate water supply rice fields nearby. Furthermore, this dam will also provide access to the rice fields with vehicles which is not currently the case.
total is 20 hectares of rice fields that are now dry because of the climatic situation This month of April (day 45 degrees and no rain since last season). According to meteorologists, the rains will not appear before May 20
So we went there with the whole team to understand the situation and talk to the villagers. The dam will be of a length of 17 meters and 5 meters wide. This will be done in earth dam. The project is a perfectly reasonable size and it is vital for local people. Without it, dozens of families will find themselves disadvantaged because they can not plant rice, the only means of subsistence ...
This construction will require the mobilization of 3000 USD. The head of the village collected 500 USD to start the construction but we had to help up to 500 USD for the construction could not begin without the contribution of USD 1000. This money was taken from the current mission and we will be unable to give more because our budget does not allow it.
The village chief had asked the part of international NGOs working in Cambodia for financial assistance, an undertook to construct the concrete seawall at a cost of about 7000 USD, but eventually withdrew from the project judging the project is too small and too rewarding "...
That's why we allow ourselves to look to you to help us meet the shortfall (2000 USD to finish the site) so that people can quickly resume work in rice fields.
