Challenge

Water-borne diseases are happening among families in 5 remote villages in Misamis Oriental. On close inspection by local health officials, the diseases mainly diarrhea and vomiting, are caused by bacteria in contaminated drinking water. The villagers get their water from pathogen-contaminated creeks and puddles. The solution is the provision of water filters that can remove disease causing bacteria 99.99 percent.

Solution

Provision of water filters including the conduct of training and information drive among villagers suffering from water-borne diseases caused by unsafe drinking water is a sure solution to the suffering of local villagers. We will also provide farming inputs like seeds and fertilizer in order to boost farming incomes, fortify villagers with nutritious, locally-grown food.

Long-Term Impact

The health, wellness and physical improvement of local villagers as a result of safe, drinking water and improved nutrition means improvement in the overall life of the village. Local citizens are then able to contribute to the life of the community and ensure safety and security.
