Hope and Happiness through H₂O
“Inspired by compassion. Sustained by service. Bringing life through water.”
The H Water Project was founded in loving memory of the late Dato’ Lee Chung Han, whose lifelong passion was uplifting communities through access to clean water.
What began as his personal mission to help the Orang Asli gain reliable access to safe water has grown into a lasting legacy — now carried forward by the Inner Wheel Club of Kuala Lumpur.
In many Orang Asli villages, families still struggle daily to find water. With no rivers nearby, they depend on shallow ground sources that often dry up or become contaminated. The absence of clean water affects every part of life — health, livelihood, and dignity.
Through the H Water Project, the Inner Wheel Club of Kuala Lumpur continues Dato’ Lee’s vision — to provide sustainable clean-water wells to underserved communities across Malaysia. Each well is more than a structure; it is a symbol of hope, transforming hardship into opportunity and ensuring that every drop brings health, growth, and happiness.
The Inner Wheel Club of Kuala Lumpur continues to invite sponsors to champion for this cause. They can be contacted at iiw.kualalumpur@gmail.com
Through the strong partnership between H Water and Inner Wheel Club of Kuala Lumpur, 75 wells have been completed before May 2026, with the goal of reaching 100 wells by mid-2027.
This partnership is meaningful as Chung Han’s mother, Juanita Lee, has been an active Inner Wheel member for more than 30 years, dedicating herself to humanitarian service and community outreach.
Her efforts and contributions succeeded in achieving three recognitions in the Malaysia Book of Records, one of which is the “Most Wells Built for Orang Asli Communities — 43 wells completed within 8 months”.
The invitation, the successful completion, and a signage at site for posterity.
Friendship Across Continents
In a touching continuation of Han’s legacy, one of his close friends from his Oxford MBA days travelled with his family all the way from Utah, USA, to sponsor a new well under the H Water Project.
During their visit, Arian, Jill and their four children, Grace, Kenneth, Audrey and Rachel, spent meaningful time with Han’s family and journeyed together to Pahang to see the completed well. They met the Orang Asli villagers whose lives have been transformed by access to clean water.
This heartfelt connection reflects how Han’s spirit of service continues to inspire compassion and action — bridging friendship, community, and purpose across borders.

The project was officially recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for achieving
“The Most Number of Wells Built by an NGO.”
This proud achievement stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication, teamwork, and compassion of IW members, whose collective efforts have transformed lives across 130 kilometres — from Chini to Rompin and Pekan.
