Thiess Melak project enhances local community with refillable drinking water facility

As part of our commitment to UNSDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, the Thiess team at the Melak Project achieved a key milestone by handing over a refillable drinking water facility to the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMKA) Karya Nabah Nusantara in Kampung Empakuq, Melak District, West Kutai Regency in Indonesia.

This initiative provides reliable access to clean drinking water for local residents, reducing health risks from waterborne diseases and lowering household costs previously spent on purchasing bottled water. Improved access to safe water also supports better hygiene and nutrition outcomes, contributing to long-term community wellbeing.

By partnering with local enterprises, we aim to create solutions that strengthen water security and enhance quality of life for our local communities.
