Teuk Saat 1001 Presentation

Teuk Saat 1001 is a Cambodian registered NGO providing access to Safe and Affordable drinking water in rural areas.

We set up small decentralized water production units, called water kiosks, in partnership with provincial and local authorities. Communes provide for free and indefinitely a plot of land and access to a water source, and in exchange, they get the ownership of the building once the activity starts.

As of October 2023, Teuk Saat 1001 enables almost 1,000,000 people to drink safe water every day across 18 provinces. This performance is achieved thanks to the work of 966 local entrepreneurs and their operators running 322 water kiosks, reaching around 23% of the Cambodian rural population.

O-we water is the largest bottled water brand in rural Cambodia, with more than 197 million liters distributed in 2022.
