Mindanao Sanitation and Food Security Project

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous donation to our project providing sanitation and food security to remote communities here. Sometimes all it takes is the provision of a simple pitcher pump in order to draw water from under the ground! So this reporting period, we provided 15 pitcher pumps to 3 small family groups in one of the remote barrios here. Before providing the pump, we make sure that the water table in the place is high and that water can be easily drawn by a pump. Aside from the pump, we also provided cement and sand and gravel and the communities benefiting from the initiative provided their own labor. The families were indeed very happy because they said that by this time there is no need for them to walk several minutes in order to fetch water from a nearby creek.

Again, thank you very much for your generosity.

Very sincerely yours,

Cesario

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our project providing good sanitation and food security for poor families here. We focus more our attention to families located in remote barrios where assistance is difficult to come by. We also provide priority to those affected by recent natural disasters here such as flooding in Luzon, the eruption of Mayon Volcano and Typhoon Tembin. Our water and sanitation assistance are low-cost, easily replicable and sustainable. This reporting period, a large organization here is interested in our approach and we provided technical support to them. At the same time we also provided monitoring support to latrines that are already constructed. In this way we are hitting two birds with one stone. We are indeed very fortunate that our efforts are slowly being recognized here and even abroad. Hoping for more support from you. 

Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Cesario
