You're watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
In the province of Svayriyang, Vaughan Mau is looking forward to the rainy season to 00:00:03
flood his dry and dusty rice paddies. 00:00:08
He and his wife Rawung look after their grandchildren, whose parents work in the capital Phnom Penh. 00:00:12
For Vaughan and Rawung, water not only means a livelihood, but is the cause of some anguish. 00:00:18
A little over a year ago, during a water shortage, their five-year-old daughter Chenda died 00:00:24
from drinking dirty water. 00:00:30
Vaughan and Rawung explain how Chenda had a high fever and diarrhoea. 00:00:35
She died quickly at the district hospital overnight. 00:00:39
Chenda's mother Khun did not see her before she died. 00:00:43
UNICEF estimates that 16 per cent of rural Cambodians have access to adequate sanitation 00:00:47
and less than 65 per cent to safe water. 00:00:53
Water and sanitation has been identified as one of the major causes of the high diarrhoea 00:00:57
incidence in Cambodia. 00:01:04
And in particular the sanitation situation, which is very, very poor, very, very bad. 00:01:06
Cambodia in fact has been classified as one of the countries in the world with the lowest 00:01:11
sanitation coverage in the rural areas. 00:01:16
Working with local communes to improve water sanitation is one of the cornerstones of UNICEF's 00:01:20
child rights program, known as Seth Colma in Khmer. 00:01:25
At the nearby Thalok Primary School, water from a UNICEF-funded well not only provides 00:01:30
clean water for drinking, but also keeps latrines more hygienic. 00:01:35
Schools with wells and latrines help to keep more children, particularly girls, in primary 00:01:40
schools. 00:01:45
Improving water and sanitation improves learning. 00:01:46
As a young child, 12-year-old Rina suffered from diarrhoea and typhoid from drinking unsafe 00:01:50
water at home. 00:01:56
I think it's important to have clean water for good personal hygiene and good health. 00:01:58
We stay free from diseases. 00:02:06
Access to clean water is essential for a good quality of life. 00:02:08
By improving water, sanitation and hygiene, Cambodians can reduce malnutrition from diarrhoea 00:02:12
and prevent young children unnecessarily dying of waterborne diseases. 00:02:19
