As we step into a new year, we want to pause and say one simple but powerful thing: thank you.
Because of your generosity in 2025, thousands of people in Laos now have access to something many of us take for granted every day—clean, safe drinking water. Your support didn’t just fund projects; it changed daily life for families and children across rural communities.
What You Made Possible in 2025
Through the TerraCare Program, TerraClear Foundation provided 1,745 subsidized ceramic household water filters to impoverished rural families. These filters are now serving 8,725 people with clean drinking water in their homes. Along with each filter, families received health and hygiene education to help ensure long-term, life-saving impact.
Through TerraKids, we placed 313 water filters in schools, bringing safe drinking water to 6,788 children where they spend much of their day learning, playing, and growing. Clean water at school means fewer sick days, improved concentration, and healthier learning environments.
Together, these efforts brought clean water, dignity, and hope to thousands of families and children throughout Laos.
Looking Ahead to 2026
As we look toward 2026, TerraClear Foundation is excited to expand our impact even further.
In addition to continuing our TerraCare and TerraKids programs, we will begin supporting complementary water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives beyond TerraClear Production.
This includes new partnerships with:
- A French NGO providing village water systems, household toilets, and hygiene training in rural Lao communities.
- A Cambodian NGO working with Lao-speaking villages along the Laos border to deliver household filters, rainwater catchment systems, toilets, and hygiene education.
We will also continue supporting TerraClear Production as it begins installing water systems in schools served through the TerraKids program—ensuring that schools not only have filters, but reliable, long-term access to clean water for students and staff.
A Grateful Start to the Year
Clean water changes everything—health improves, time is saved, children stay in school, and families can invest in a better future. None of this happens without you.
As we begin this new year, please know how deeply grateful we are for your partnership. Your generosity is transforming lives, one family and one child at a time.
With sincere thanks and hope for the year ahead,
Dawn Marie Lewis
Executive Director, TerraClear Foundation
