An interview with Chris Draper, Abundant Water Program Supervisor in Timor-Leste as he is about to leave the country and hand over to a new supervisor.
Meet Vaclav Rabas, Abundant Water’s Program Supervisor in the Philippines, a towering man with an infectious smile.
By working directly with local communities, Abundant Water is tackling the problem of plastic pollution head-on, turning waste into opportunity and paving the way for a cleaner, healthier Timor-Leste.
Chris Draper, Abundant Water’s first Australian Volunteer, is currently based in Timor-Leste, supporting the organisation’s growing presence in the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector.
The Abundant Water team continues to face one of Timor-Leste’s greatest logistical challenges: its roads. Chris Draper, Abundant Water’s Supervising Project Officer shares his experience: "What makes Abundant Water so incredible is that our vendors travel these challenging roads to make sales to those in their communities. Even if the road is muddy or partially collapsed, our vendors are able to bring clean water to the most remote locations of the country"
