Ideas At Work company profile

To become Cambodia`s leading company for rope pump technology and other water and sanitation products. <BR/> To be the best social responsible company to our staff with sustainable jobs, good working environment and profit sharing. In Cambodia`s rural area only 5% of the almost 1 million open wells have a pump attached: our target market is the other 95% which are people mostly living at the bottom of the pyramid. IaW believes in sharing the experience of implementing ideas and innovations at the same time providing jobs for disadvantaged Cambodians. Profits are invested back into the organization and 25% goes towards improving the situation in orphanages. <BR/> The social benefits associated with the use of water pumps can be summarized as follows: <BR/> (i) time saving (estimated at 50%); <BR/> (ii) increase in safety because the well is covered once the pump is installed, which eliminates the risk of people falling into the well when drawing water; <BR/> (iii) economic improvement up to $4.40 per day extra income, since many people have started to grow vegetable gardens and raise more animals; <BR/> (iv) health improvements, since the Rovai pump reduces bacteria in water by 90%; and <BR/> (v) cost savings.
