Shinta Mani Foundation 3 (A2)
clean water and sanitation

The Shinta Mani Foundation is a kind organization in Cambodia. It helps poor families live better lives. One important way they help is by giving clean water and good sanitation to people in the countryside.

Many villages do not have clean water. People often drink water from rivers, ponds, or small lakes. This water is dirty and can make people sick. The Shinta Mani Foundation builds wells and water pumps. With these, families can get clean water near their houses.

The foundation also helps with toilets. Some families do not have toilets and must go to the forest or fields. This is not safe and not healthy. The foundation builds simple toilets for families. This helps keep the villages clean.

Shinta Mani also teaches people about hygiene. They learn how to wash their hands, clean their homes, and keep water safe. This helps stop diseases like diarrhea and stomach problems.

Thanks to the Shinta Mani Foundation, many families now have clean water, toilets, and better health. Their work helps communities grow stronger and healthier.

Shinta Mani Foundation 2 (A2)
access to healthcare

The Shinta Mani Foundation helps people in Cambodia get better healthcare. Many poor families cannot go to the doctor or dentist because they have no money. The Foundation works with other groups, like Global Dental Relief, to bring free health and dental care to villages.

Doctors and dentists come to the villages and check people’s health. They help children clean their teeth and fix problems. They also teach people how to stay healthy, like washing hands and brushing teeth every day.

The Foundation wants people in the countryside to be healthy and strong. If someone is very sick, the Foundation helps them go to the hospital. They also give vitamins to children who do not have enough healthy food.

This work helps many families feel better and live safer, healthier lives. The Foundation cares about people and wants everyone to have a chance to be healthy.

For me, dreaming big has pushed me to work harder, learn more, and accomplish things I once thought were impossible.

9. Interviewer: If you had to describe the Shinta Mani Foundation in one sentence, what would you say?
Dul Hing: The Shinta Mani Foundation is an organization that opens doors, offering guidance, opportunity, and unwavering support to those who are committed to building a better future for themselves and their communities.

Dul Hing: My hope for the future is to continue growing, learning, and sharing the knowledge and experiences I’ve gained.
