The Foundation recognized the urgent need to provide sustainable water solutions that protect children’s health and well-being.
The Foundation’s H20Hope initiative was born from a simple but powerful purpose: to ensure that every orphanage in Myanmar has access to safe and clean drinking water. In a country where children don’t have similar privileges, the Foundation recognized the urgent need to provide sustainable water solutions that protect children’s health and well-being. H20Hope is not just about installing water systems—it is about empowering communities, protecting children, and giving supporters a way to make a meaningful, tangible impact on young lives.
On December 13, 2025, the Foundation proudly commissioned the first H20Hope system at the Home of Beacon, marking a historic milestone in our efforts. This achievement followed a careful selection process where two qualified bidders were invited to present their experience, project track record, and in-country support capabilities. After a thorough evaluation, the project was awarded to Conway Tech Myanmar, a company with eight years of operations in Myanmar and offices across Cambodia, Laos, and Singapore. Their expertise and reliability gave the Foundation confidence that the project would deliver lasting results for the children.

A comprehensive survey and water quality assessment were conducted on-site to measure critical indicators, including pH levels, lead, and iron content of the well water. These measurements informed the Bill of Quantities and determined the complexity and specifications of the filtration system required. This careful, data-driven approach ensured that every aspect of the system meets the highest safety standards and provides clean water for years to come, reflecting the Foundation’s commitment to quality and accountability to its donors.
The installation at Home of Beacon brought immediate benefits to 85 children, most of whom are orphans, providing them with safe, clean drinking water from a 1,000 ml tank system. The commissioning allows children to thrive in a healthier environment, while volunteers, orphanage ambassadors, and supporters witness the tangible results of their contributions. Every sip of water now represents the collective effort of donors and partners coming together to create lasting change in children’s lives.
Clean water is a basic right, yet too many children in Myanmar go without it. H20Hope is our commitment to ensuring that every orphanage can provide safe water for its children. This first commissioning is a testament to what can be achieved when donors, volunteers, and partners come together to make a real difference.”

Reflecting on this milestone, Chairman Dr. John Palmer highlighted the human impact behind every contribution and reinforced the Foundation’s mission to create meaningful change.
The success of the December 13th commissioning represents the first step in a nationwide campaign to bring clean drinking water to orphanages across Myanmar. Two years of careful planning, campaign efforts, and fundraising have made this launch possible. Moving forward, the Foundation aims to extend H20Hope to every orphanage in need, ensuring children across the country can enjoy one of the most essential human rights: safe, clean drinking water. With the support of generous donors and committed partners, H20Hope promises a brighter, healthier future for Myanmar’s orphan children.
