Engineers Without Borders

The Rotary Club of Toronto Eglinton is providing financial support to Engineers Without Borders to support Selena Lam, a young Canadian Engineering Physics engineer, who is working on the Prey Veng Safe Water Project in Phnom Phenh Cambodia.

Selena supports a local women’s pottery cooperative that makes 2,500 Ceramic Water Purifiers a month. She is assisting them in improving the design of the filter to reduce maintenance and expanding production to 5,000 per month. These Ceramic Water Purifiers provide a low cost way of producing safe drinking water from contaminated sources such as open wells, ponds streams and even floodwater for thousands of Cambodians.
