About Teuk Saat 1001

Teuk Saat 1001 (www.teuksaat1001.com) is a Cambodian NGO, established in 2007. Our main mission is to develop water kiosks in the rural communities to improve the access of safe drinking water, in a sustainable manner. Teuk Saat 1001 installs new kiosks but also support the existing network of kiosks, by providing a range of services such as technical support, water quality monitoring and personalized coaching. Teuk Saat 1001, thanks its network of 340 active water kiosks throughout the country and its brand O-we, is serving over 1 million consumers, including 376,000 children receiving daily safe drinking water for free in primary schools. The initiative is employing over 1,100 people.

Teuk Saat 1001 is the local partner of the French non-profit 1001fontaines. 1001fontaines is also active in Madagascar, Vietnam and Bangladesh.

Teuk Saat 1001 is planning to revamp and upgrade its network, to increase the daily production and impact in the local communities where the infrastructures are in place. We are looking for a new position to support and standardize the development and implementation of the project, integrated into the local team.
