2023 Pitch

Funds Raised: $51,100

Aviv pitched to raise awareness and funds for their project W – WASH for Education. Project W brings clean, safe drinking water and sanitation solutions to rural high schools in Siem Reap, Cambodia. CRST are installing water filtration systems, toilets, and drinking/handwashing-stations, as well as delivering WASH educational workshops on basic health, hygiene and nutrition. The safe drinking water at the school is made available to all surrounding community members. They are training Cambodian university students to deliver the WASH educational workshops at the rural high schools. These students themselves come from economically-challenged rural families and as Cambodia’s young leaders of social change, they exemplify the value of education and community service.

The Impact…

The funding enabled CRST to support 4,122 students in rural schools in Cambodia through the WASH infrastructure installed and the WASH education workshops.
