The open and inclusive nature of AW means that the project has grown beyond its original modest goals. We not only freely share our knowledge and experience but also freely source expertise from individuals and organisations.  As a result, various NGOs in Laos are now partnering with AW to introduce the clay-pot water filter to their villages. Kindred ‘clean water’ organisations are also collaborating with AW to incorporate the AW experience and know-how on their projects in Africa. Further parallel projects are also establishing in South America.

Abundant Water is proud to partner Global Development Group (GDC) (ABN 57 102 400 993), an Australian Non Government Organization (NGO) in the clay-pot water filter project in Lao PDR. GDG takes responsibility to ensure that project J623N Abundant Water is carried out to AusAID requirements.

Community Development and Environment Association (Lao) is an important partner in introducing and implementing the water filters in Lao villages. CDEA has a long experience working with development programs in remote Lao villages and bring this cultural and anthropological focus to the project. CDEA also specialize in revolving funding programs (micro-financing) in these villages and are responsible for the enterprise and micro-finance training in the Abundant Water program.
