This project aims to enhance climate resilience in the Mekong region by scaling up Rain Schools and promoting rainwater harvesting as a sustainable water solution. Key activities include establishing a Rainwater Training and Research Center (RTRC), installing rainwater filtration and distribution (RFD) systems in schools, developing MOOCs and mobile applications, and organizing Rain Camps and an international conference. Through capacity building, technical training, and international collaboration, the project will empower students, engineers, and policymakers. Aligned with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport’s (MoEYS) goal of establishing 1,000 Rain Schools, the initiative ensures long-term sustainability and positions the RTRC as a global hub for rainwater education and innovation.
To improve access to clean and sustainable water sources in schools by installing rainwater harvesting systems.
To build local capacity for rainwater management through targeted training and community engagement.
To integrate educational tools, such as MOOCs and mobile applications, to expand access to learning opportunities.
To strengthen regional collaboration and long-term climate resilience through shared knowledge and networks across Mekong countries.
RAC and SNU will provide training for engineers, NGOs, and educators from Mekong countries, focusing on rainwater harvesting and sustainable water management practices.
Educational materials will be developed, international Rain Camps organized, and conferences hosted to raise awareness and generate interest in rainwater management.
Rainwater harvesting systems will be installed in schools to ensure a sustainable supply of clean water for students and surrounding communities.
