Well Drilling Construction & Maintenance

Trailblazer Foundation made an agreement with a local well driller who apprenticed two designated villagers in the skills of well drilling and repair. and paid their salary of 25$ USD per month for two months. These villagers stayed on as employees for another five months, gaining in their skills and knowledge.

The long term objective is to provide these trainees with the necessary equipment and materials to set up their own business for drilling and repair of wells.

Trailblazer Foundation, or other NGO's, can now hire these men to drill wells in rural areas, saving transport costs from Siem Reap and freeing up funds for use on other projects.

Prior to Trailblazer Foundation, there was no other international aid in Sras village and the result was a high rate of illiteracy, sanitation and health issues. This project is a true definition of "trailblazing" and is our pilot project for expanding to other rural villages. This project, in its entirety, has attracted the attention of other NGO's (non-government organizations), principal politicians, and ministry officials in Cambodia.
