Actually, another non-governmental organization (NGO) I ran into randomly in Cambodia and was moved enough to donate to was Salvation Centre Cambodia, www.scc-cambodia.org. That's more for Cambodians with HIV/AIDS though, not sure if that'd be really your thing.

Or, you can try the Carter Centre, one of their current initiatives is trying to completely eradicate Guinea worm. This should be right up your street as the worms are spread by ingesting contaminated water. Pretty cool little parasite I must admit, though I would sure as hell not want to catch it.

I actually don't know too much about Doctors Without Borders; I am more familiar with Engineers Without Borders which I would assume is quite similar. Best to call in and ask.

pretty cool info..but most of those are not what im looking for exactly.

Guinea worm disease is only contracted when a person drinks stagnant water contaminated with the larvae of the Guinea worm, or urinates un-protected in infected waterways

oh noes..i remember there was a thread about this :O
