Sras Village Wells
A grant from the Teton Valley Driggs, Idaho Rotary Club in February 2005 made possible the drilling of three wells, and the construction of two toilets on the Sras village school site.

This project was completed March 10, 2005 as the first phase of the public primary school project there.
Pump Wells and Cement Ring Pit Wells
Pump wells are greatly needed in the countryside. Most villagers use and transport water from long distances from deep holes in the ground. Wells can be drilled and constructed at an average cost of $150 USD per pump well and $280 USD per pit well.
Well construction is best done in April, May and June when the dry season is at its peak and drilling ensures the depth for a year round water supply.
It is our goal that one in every 3 to 5 families in rural villages are provided a pump or pit well as a consistent source of water, and water filters to ensure the water is potable. The Trailblazer Foundation has been installing pump wells in strategic locations throughout Siem Reap Province since 2005.
