▼Toilet construction site
In 2021, our predecessor, SmiRing, won everyone’s support through crowdfunding and introduced water filters to 150 ordinary families in Sambour, Cambodia, making it possible for local families to use clean water.
We, the next generation “-SmiRing”, are inspired by the activities of the predecessor SmiRing and want to start a new support project in the form of a successor. In mid-August 2022, with the cooperation of the certified NPO Aozora (hereinafter referred to as Aozora), we conducted a field survey of Cambodia through Zoom.
In the past, Aozora has supported the construction of health centers and built handwashing stations, taking into account water sanitation during the corona crisis. In 2021, we launched the water purification filter made by SmiRing to ordinary households.
After conducting fieldwork across the district to understand what was needed and what was lacking, the next problem identified was the toilet problem.
▼ What the field investigation found
▼Details of the question
lack of toilets
Currently, the primary school we support only has one toilet for boys and one toilet for boys, so there is always a queue during lunch break.
As a result, some students did defecate helplessly, or leak urine while queuing.
This problem is not only a problem in the primary schools we support, but also in rural areas of Cambodia.
Open defecation because there is no toilet
From the above data, we can see that the problem of open defecation still exists in Cambodia.
We researched and investigated not only the problems of open defecation itself, but also the dangers posed by the practice.
●Flood in rainy season✖︎Open defecation = bacteria growth
Due to the vicious cycle described above, open defecation puts children at risk for bacterial growth.
At the same time, it also causes environmental pollution.
▲Possibility of environmental pollution
So far I have explained the problems associated with open defecation due to lack of toilets.
Secondly, about the menstrual problems of female students due to lack of toilets.
In fact, I interviewed a female elementary school student who received this grant.
Then I found out that I hadn’t been able to change my sanitary napkin for nearly half a day at school during my menstrual period.
▲ Menstrual problems of female students
We will provide toilet construction support to solve these problems!
As can be seen from the above materials, the cost of building a toilet in Cambodia is lower than that in Japan, although the performance is different. For the same money, one toilet can be built in Japan, but five toilets can be built in Cambodia.
I believe building toilets in Cambodia will solve some problems.
Next I will go into more detail about the toilet we are going to build in this project.
▼Toilet Details
Sewage flow (toilet system)
There are 2 male toilets and 3 female toilets, and the first hall (★) is connected to the first hall.
There are 3 drainage ditches, and the sewage is accumulated in the drainage ditches in the hall, leading directly to the men’s and women’s toilets.

<待建廁所>
(1) Since there are steps between the toilet and the ground, it can be used for a long time and will not be damaged by frequent water ingress.
(2) The excrement is filtered through the filter, which is beneficial to the environment.
I have explained the details of the toilets planned for this project.
The toilets constructed this time will not only solve the concerns about outdoor defecation caused by issues such as toilet shortage, environmental pollution, and lack of privacy, but will also be designed according to the local climate in Cambodia to meet the needs of local residents in Cambodia. Continuous use.
This time it will cost about 360,000 yen, which is the material cost.
I will set a goal for you!
◆ Target amount: 360,000 yen
◆ Even if the total amount of support does not reach the target amount by the deadline, the project will always be carried out in accordance with the implementation rules, such as paying the target amount.
▼Our thoughts
First of all, thank you for reading this page!
So far, we have been solving Cambodia’s water problems by actually measuring the communication between Cambodian people and members through zoom and conducting in-depth research based on various materials.
When we conducted a field survey in a primary school, we found that most of the students felt inconvenient about not having toilets and were dissatisfied with being forced to defecate in the open. Faced with this situation, we were heartbroken and thought about what we could do, It was decided to investigate the situation further.
As a result, not only problems such as open defecation and oral infection caused by the lack of toilets, but also problems such as women’s privacy not being protected and inability to deal with menstruation.
Judging from things like this,Prevent open defecation and protect women’s privacyIt was decided to build a toilet.
This time, with the cooperation of Qing Kong and other people, we were able to accept the challenge of this project, and I feel very honored to be able to help everyone!
We will continue to do our best to spread the smiles of the Cambodian people! !
everyone!
Would you like to join us in delivering clean toilets to remote areas of Cambodia?
“Leave No One Behind”This word also appears in sdgs.
Your support will be the first step in creating an equal living environment for people all over the world!
thank you for your support! ! !
