Lien Aid

Lien Aid is a Singapore based non-governmental organisation that seeks to build a firm foundation for human development by making safe water and sanitation accessible and affordable to poor communities. We are currently concentrating our efforts on Asia’s impoverished communities where the water and sanitation crisis is most acute. Founded in 2006, we have since established our presence in six countries: Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Myanmar. As the issues we deal with are dynamic, we are constantly assessing the needs of the people and exploring ways in which simple technologies can be implemented affordably and effectively in those communities. Backed by the resources of a world class technological university, our work is based on the principles of adapting to local conditions, integrating available solutions, and partnering with players from various sectors to ensure programs are sustainable and rapidly scalable. Lien Aid, together with the Lien Institute for the Environment (LIFE), forms the Lien Foundation - Nanyang Technological University Environmental Endeavour.
