Today, however, life has changed significantly for the family and nine-year-old <strong>White, Supanida. <\/strong>The support they received has improved their quality of life, strengthened their livelihood, and expanded Nong White\u2019s educational opportunities.<\/p><p>White lives with three other family members in an elevated area, where access to water is difficult because the village water distribution system is located below their home. Meeting the family\u2019s daily water needs was a constant struggle. When no water was available, their only option was to bathe at a nearby weir. <em>\u201cThe weir isn\u2019t far, but since my daughter and I are both women, it was difficult for us to go there to bathe,\u201d<\/em> her mother explained.<\/p><p>A major turning point came when the family received a <strong>\u2018water storage tank\u2019<\/strong> with support from World Vision Foundation of Thailand. The tank soon became an essential part of the household. <em>\u201cIt has helped us so much. We can use the water to cook rice, wash dishes\u2014everything,\u201d <\/em>Suthima said. Previously, the family had to fetch water or leave home to access it elsewhere. Now, they have a large tank that collects and stores rainwater, providing a reserve even when the water supply is unavailable. It has greatly eased their daily burden and given them peace of mind.<\/p><p>White also recalled having to travel to the weir to bathe.<em> \u201cSometimes we walked, and sometimes we went by motorcycle. It was a little difficult,\u201d <\/em>she said. When asked how she felt about having water at home, her answer was brief but clear: <em>\u201cI\u2019m very happy and glad.\u201d <\/em>She no longer has to go to the weir to bathe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c496898 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c496898\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9e42a6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"a9e42a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;3:2&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.worldvision.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC07502-\u0e02\u0e19\u0e32\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e0d\u0e48.jpeg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"a9e42a6\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"DSC07502 \u0e02\u0e19\u0e32\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e0d\u0e48\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTkyNDAsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cud29ybGR2aXNpb24ub3IudGhcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjZcLzA2XC9EU0MwNzUwMi1cdTBlMDJcdTBlMTlcdTBlMzJcdTBlMTRcdTBlNDNcdTBlMmJcdTBlMGRcdTBlNDguanBlZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImE5ZTQyYTYifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.worldvision.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC07502-\u0e02\u0e19\u0e32\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e0d\u0e48-768x512.jpeg\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"512\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.worldvision.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC07510-\u0e02\u0e19\u0e32\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e0d\u0e48.jpeg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"a9e42a6\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"DSC07510 \u0e02\u0e19\u0e32\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e0d\u0e48\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTkyNDEsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cud29ybGR2aXNpb24ub3IudGhcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjZcLzA2XC9EU0MwNzUxMC1cdTBlMDJcdTBlMTlcdTBlMzJcdTBlMTRcdTBlNDNcdTBlMmJcdTBlMGRcdTBlNDguanBlZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImE5ZTQyYTYifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.worldvision.or.th\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSC07510-\u0e02\u0e19\u0e32\u0e14\u0e43\u0e2b\u0e0d\u0e48-768x512.jpeg\" data-width=\"768\" data-height=\"512\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2633bf e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d2633bf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56dfdc7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"56dfdc7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to helping meet the family\u2019s basic needs, World Vision Foundation of Thailand provided the family with<strong> piglets <\/strong>as a starting point for a livelihood.
