About the Meeting
It was disappointing on Monday night to fail to connect with Ms Fleur Maidment BSc
MEnvS (UniMelb) and hear and ask questions about the Safe Water for Every Child project
in Myanmar, however we aim to connect again on 16 June, 2025.
Fleur is an environmental scientist who has worked in environmental and emergency
management for more than 20 years and runs the Safe Water for Every Child - Myanmar.
The project aims to empower communities to test water quality and to deliver safe drinking
water solutions. 95% of water in Myanmar has been tested as unsafe to drink. Unsafe
drinking water causes diarrhoea in young children and is the most common cause of death in
children under 5 years.
Fleur and her team have provided safe drinking water to over 70,000 people in remote camps
and villages since 2018. She works to provide humanitarian aid to the 3.5 million Myanmar
refugees and the 200,000 displaced people as a result of the recent earthquake. The project
aims to support 130,000 people in local communities to safe water by 2030. Safe water and
sanitation can be provided at $1.20 per year for each person.
